Fuchs Hearts?
Can anyone tell me what the "hearts" are when talking about Fuchs. I see them advertised with and without and am puzzled by what people are refering to.
Thanks in advance ![]() |

Early Fuchs, 4.5, 5.5 & 6" had a bulge under the valve stem hole, that is what is called the heart.

...and it creates the "heart" from the ordinarily triangular shaped hole. I have seen one rim on this site where the bulge is not by the valve stem opening. Never seen that before, and I don't know if it was a factory error.

The heart bump is by the valve stem.
