Need help identifying these wheels (3pc Fuchs content)
 
I've been searching like crazy, and haven't found any clarification. I originally thought the wheels were fuchs centers and bbs lips/barrels, then oe fuchs centers with other brand lips/barrels; but looking at the part numbers I don't know why the lips would also be stamped the same. Once I figure out what the deal is with them, they will be going up for sale. They are 16x8 and 16x9. Thanks for the help yall SmileWavy.

Looks like JCW outers with Fuchs inners.

The usual suspects use 20 bolt barrels. The centers are cut down Fuchs.

Unless the maker put ID on the barrels, they could be anyone's.....

What company is JCW? The barrel is stamped as well as the inside of the wheel. It doesn't make sense

I dont think those are fuch centers - no fox? Didnt one of the high end wheel manufacturers make a 3 piece fuchs look in the 80s? Cant think which company, might have been one of the British companies.

Are they heavy?

the one center that shows 6 x 16" is a fuchs center, I think it is your second inside picture, so look the other centers over to see if those same markings are present. HRE made a Fuchs forged style center years ago. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

Yes HRE that was it :-)

There was another company, too. We had some years ago. But my brain isn't working it out. It was a British make. - Matt

Compomotive! That's what we had. They were heavy.

Elombard 05-29-2013 05:24 PM

That's right Compomotives!! I saw some of those some where recently.

They are OE fuchs centers, they all have the triangle P or whatever markings. I'm just not sure whats up with the lip/barrel because they are stamped the same as the centers. I've had a million Comps, and these aren't them. These are very very light

My guess would be that whomever modded the centers and built the wheels marked the centers. -J
