Ok,

I did some digging in trying to understand this and figured out where my confusion came from . It's the combination of the part number and the ET.

When looking around at Fuch part numbers, the 911.262.115.00 7x16 is frequently left off the charts. The closeness to the 951 part number and 23.3 ET marked on it is what threw me. ALL 7x16 are 23.3 ET.

Furthermore, I didn't bother looking up the first wheel and just pulled what I thought was the Pro Date when I said it was a 74-75 Carrera wheel, even though 7x16s weren't put on cars until the 1977 930. I'll post a couple pictures from my phone shortly to show what I missed when only cleaning a couple petals to start with...
