15x7, 15x8 deep dish mystery Fuchs

[jager911]

I have had these wheels a long time and cannot figure out what they are. They are the deep dish style but are stamped with the Fuchs fox head and 15x6 with 911.361....part# but they actually measure 15x7 and 15x8.
They currently have 225/50 and 245/50 old BFG R1 tires which I will remove if necessary. They have the standard 4 1/2" 911 backspace and fit my '74 with SC flares without any issues.
There are no bends or curb rash, they need to be re-finished. 1 spoke has a scrape. Open to sane offers. Shipping not included.

Wow. Looks like they were "weld-ups" based on early 5.5 or 6" Fuchs.

Likely that somebody took barrels off of other wheels and welded them on to narrower Fuchs to make these.

Wow is right, kinda bizarre, kinda cool.... ( I think??)

Note the heart opening (shaped opening that has the valve next to it), so they are definitely early 1970 or earlier centers.

Can you post a picture of the backs??

I'll post more pics later this week of the insides, I moved my trailer back into storage.
I too thought they were welded too to 15x6 centers. However, I cannot see any evidence of a weld anywhere. They are smooth on the inside under the tire. If someone out there can identify these wheels, let me know. BTW, the black smudges are just tape/glue from wheel weights. Cleaned up and polished, I think these wheels would look great on an early Carrera.
p.s. Soterik, you have 5 '67S's? Holy S@!t.

Those wheels are weld up made by a guy in North Carolina back in the 70's he also was the first guy to make the 10" when 16's first came out. I'v been to his shop out in the woods great place. He's been dead for 20 year now. His last name was "Mc" something maybe someone from that area can remember back that far.
