Dated wheels and the importance?
I’m trying to understand the importance of wheel dates when it comes to cars that won’t be sitting on the Pebble Beach lawn. I know there may be a cool factor or even bragging rights for some who probably saved their original tires from 1975 but for the rest of the folks what difference does it make, as long as the wheels are Genuine Fuchs and in excellent condition. If a person owns a 3.0RS or an RSR (or another rare model) then finding the correct dates is important..other than that is the premium worth it? I remember when I had Lindsey Racing build me a set of their 17” Fuchs using 16x6 Fuchs. He said most of the wheels they received from customers were damaged. Seems like dates trump condition in today’s time.
