B.V. ,

For clarfication , in 1976MY , there were only two options available to recieve the 7 & 8 x 15 fuchs . Both came with the 70 front & 60 Rear series tires.

m493 / Platin-dunkel (anodized petals)

&

m401 / Schwarz (black)


The 50 series tire option was for the tires ONLY . And the accompanying Speedo has it's own part number. If you have your original , look at the number up in the face edge at the top. If a 76MY C3 , came with the 50 series tire option (m395). It will have speedo :

930 641 501 00 , the accompanying notation in DE PET is 'KM/H 300 für Reifen / 50' .

The standard speedo for 70 & 60 series tires is 930 641 532 00 , the accompanying notation in DE PET is 'KM/H 300 für Reifen / 60' .

And you might have been able to special order them....but in the DE market price list dated sept 1 , 1975 . There is no option listed for 6" & 7" fuch wheels (leichtmetalfelgen geschmiedet is the factory term) for a C3. Or are they listed as available on the price list for any of the 3 models.

The only other wheel option listed is m400 , which is : '4 leightmetalfelgen 6jx15, geschmiedet , mit Reifen 185/70VR15'. This is noted for 911 only.

So I do not know what to say.. You would think they would be available , but they are not listed. My take is that the factory probably figured that most people , if ordering up from cookie cutters , would want the wider wheel. That way , wider tires could be used at a later date.


This info as noted is from the DE language price list , so this is applicable to at least the DE home market. If not most ROW markets (UK countries , seem to be the normally the most differant Market).
