Fuchs???

Forgive my not knowing: How do you know that the rims you're getting are Fuchs and not a reproduction? Are there markings? Distinguishing marks?

TIA

There are several markings on the back that distinguish authentic Fuchs wheels. If you need to see examples, simply use the "search" button at the top, right side of the web page and type in "Fuchs". Many threads have been posted about your exact question so there is lots of information available.

Some of the markings will be OEM part numbers, such as 911.xxx.xxx or 951.xxx.xxx., and offset, i.e. 23.3 or 10.

There is also a stylized fox face (Fuchs means 'fox' in German - fuch or fuchses aren't words).

The fox face may just look like a triangle, but it's always there on a Fuchs.

It rhymes with books. Just replace the B with F.
