Help Verifying Fuchs (Deep?) Sixes On My 912
Hi everyone,
I'm excited to say I just purchased a wonderful 1968 912 from the estate of a friend who owned the car for ~25 years. In sorting through the car and the cardax from PCNA, I realized what I already knew- the steering wheel, radio and shift knob aren't original. Also in sorting through the car, I managed to get ahold of the prior owner, who had the car from ~1971-1990. He was happy to chat and gave me some great information, also confirming the knob, radio and wheel weren't original because the originals were stolen from the car in the late 1980s. So far so good and mystery solved, albeit with some disappointment as the car was originally wood rim-optioned and the wheel is no more... Anyways, fast forward to my latest question mark- according to the certificate of authenticity, the car came from the factory with Fuchs and they look to be the original fuchs still on the car. I've attached images here, and I was wondering if someone can confirm them to be original deep sixes that the car would have came with? The car is in shipment to me, and will pass through 2 shops (who I admittedly know and trust, but still...) before I have it myself so I want to be sure the rims are correct in advance. I have no idea how to tell as they look the same as later ones to me, and sadly I can't check the part numbers until I have the car here Thanks in advance! More on the actual car when I get it here and can start a thread. I've wanted an early 911/912 for years to share the garage with my SC, and the dream has finally come true! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

They look like deeps. To be sure you need to check the part numbers on the back of the wheel. Post when you get them.
