Fuchs re-sized?
 

I read a while back in Excellence about a guy building an RS replica who had his Fuchs re-sized wider (i think they create a modular wheel from a standard, removing the rim)
Does anyone recall if this can and/or is being done?
Thanks,
Matt

Yes

Can you elaborate? any info on who may be able to,no luck on the web.

There are several options, what are you trying to end up with? 15,16,17 inch? All fuchs metal? 3 piece? Welded?

I'd like to make a 16" a 17" and wider, with correct offset. I was looking for a machinist that can take my wheels and make them what i want, not something they have off the shelf. Any ideas of who to call are appreciated
Thanks

Lindsey racing makes 17" Fuchs from 6"x16" cores I believe.

Very common. Lots of people running around on 17" Fuchs, super-wide Fuchs...Search for Tru-Design, Lindsey, Rota, Euromeister...They're all a bit different in price and construction, some requiring Fuchs "cores".

There is a thread somewhere that does a very comprehensive comparison.

thanks.

If you want welded 17" wheels the options are few and mentioned above. If you want 3 piece wheels, i like the ones TRE puts out. Rebel Racing offers as well. Jongbloed has offered this service in the past but i think they have come out with their own 3 piece wheel recently. I am leaving someone out i am sure.

Post pics when they are done!

HRE - the only game in Fuchsville. They did a pair of 17" x 10" alloys for me a number of years ago; fantastic product.

Jim Lyon did my rear 6 1/2x16's on my 912 POLO car. He has done a number of 17's.
