Good 6 X 15 reproduction Fuchs?
I'd love to get the real thing, but wow, I can't seem to find any real Fuchs for less than 500 each, and those all need refinishing.
I don't mind the extra few pounds per wheel for cast or otherwise so I've been looking for a good set of repros for my 75 narrow body car. They need to be 15" and only 6" wide. I found these: Porsche 911 SC 914 6 Fuchs Wheel 6x15 Reproduction - 911 - Porsche - German Cars They are made in Germany, but no info as to what the wheel is made of. Anyone have these? Also these 5.5" X 15 fuchs on cp1 ACC-C10-6648 - 911 FUCHS STYLE 5 SPOKE ALUMINUM WHEEL - BLACK WITH POLISHED SPOKES - 5.5 INCH WIDE X 15 INCH DIA. - 5X130MM BOLT PATTERN (5 INCH BACKSPACE) - CENTER CAP AND HARDWARE SOLD SEPARATELY (SHIPPING CHARGES APPLY) - SOLD EACH Which are VW wheels? Love any other replica recommendations |

You'll find them if patient. I picked up a pair of 16x6s with new tires 7-8 months ago for $500.

buy the real fuchs, stronger, lighter, look better and they go up in value.

i understand that there's a pretty poor selection of 15 inch tires these days -- what about going with 16x6 fuchs?

If your budget allows, some nicer real Fuchs.
