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

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

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. |

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