How much are a pair of 15X8 pepro Fuch's worth? No dents or dings but peeling pant and surface corosion.
Thanks,
Adam

decent shape reproductions are around $300 to a motivated buyer
(my guess)

Nothing.
Real 15x8's arent worth much (I sold a set of 15x7,8's) for $500 (4 wheels) in good condition.
Those pictured above look like cr*p.

1) 15 x anything is never in demand
2) Repro's are taboo

If you're thinking about buying them, don't
If you're trying to sell them, good luck.

Ouch!

15" Fuchs are becoming coveted by the Early and Mid-Year enthusiasts, although these are primarily the 15x6" and 15x7" wheels, prob more so than 16" Fuchs!

A matched set of early 15" originals (2 15x6", 2 15x7") went for AU$2300 on eBay Australia last week.

When I begin the cosmetic restoration on my middie, I'll be hanging out for a set of Al-Reed style quality 15x7" wheels, and wil prob pay top dollar for them.

Can't really comment on the value of replica Fuchs, but considering that original Fuchs are beginning to command good wads of cash, I'm sure these would be a good cheapie option for someone on a budget...

"Real 15x8's arent worth much (I sold a set of 15x7,8's) for $500 (4 wheels) in good condition"

Granted that they are not as popular as 16's and that there seems to be a growing trend towards 17's.

But on a early car they look good IMHO. There is a market for 15's as demonstrated by the pair that just sold in the link below.

It was not that long ago when you could buy the 8x15" Fuchs from the dealer for $175 apiece, so they are plentiful and relatively cheap compared to the 8x16s. I paid $200 for a pair at the first PP swapmeet in Rainbow, CA, back in the last century.

Lately, I have seen them for around $4-500/pair, depending on condition.

Replicas are worthless to me, but maybe someone would want them.

No guys don't hold back be honest!
I appreciate the input but find the "replica are worthless" a little off. I know that people don't like them if they are going to the track because they are not as strong; but if your just making a pretty car nobody is going to look at the car and say "boy only if those Fuchs were real it would be a concourse winner".
So any dollar estimates out there other than "worthless"?
Anybody agree with the $300?

Yes, but anyone looking at those triangular cut outs is going to think that real Fuchs would look better. Sell them on The Samba.

operative words in the $300 guess are "decent shape", and "motivated buyer"

adamb113 · 10-11-2007, 06:42 AM

So how about in need of refinishing and painting and just "buyer".
Is $200 ludicrious?
