shoud I be worried about these Fuchs

[Geronimo '74]

I am looking at a set of 7 en 9" Fuchs.

On this pic you can see that the first 1 of the partnumber has a rectangular shape around it. Is this an attempt to change the 951 number into a 911 number or is this common??

here's the pic


Thanks guys

There's nothing to be concerned about, the #s w/ the squares are the #s that are frequently changed. A 1 or 5 are used in the second position and the last 2 digits are also changed for specific variants of the wheel

911.362.119.90 is an ET15 9x16 unpainted Fuchs
911.362.119.00 is an ET15 9x16 black painted ctr. Fuchs

951.362.117.00 is an ET23.3 8x16 black painted Fuchs

etc.

Thanks Bill!

also - note the little Fox (Fuchs) head on the left -- that is a trademark and shows they are real

I suppose somebody could stamp the fox head into cheap fakes but then Fuchs would go looking for them big time...

Also they are raised letters, so moulded in place and not stamped. I would only be concerned if the letters were stamped into the wheel, rather than raised like this.

generally something to watch out for, yes -- but some very very spendy Fuchs have the #'s stamped on them in ink

Now that would be easy to replicate!!!!
