So I went to go buy some Fuchs...
Last week I went to pick up some 7/9x16 Fuchs to use as track rims - unfortunately when I got there, I found they were not polished as advertised, but rather chromed. I passed on them as I've heard some horror stories about chromed fuchs being weaked and unsuitable for track use. The owner said he may have another set for me, but they were 15's
Anyway, I got over there today and picked them up - 773 date coded 9x15s and 973 date coded 11x15s! I paid a decent price for them, but now am faced with some RSR rear flares to replace the current RS ones on the car Not a bad problem to have! Regards, Andrew M

You got ripped dude... But I'm willing to help you out.
I'll buy the 9x15s and 11x15s to help you get out of trouble with your misses. Do you take Paypal?

Seriously if you want to sell them let me know. I've got a set of 3-piece 17" Fuchs that will fit your current RS flares no problem. We could work out a trade + cash.
