I'm looking for a good restorable set of 15" x 6" Fuchs five lug wheels for a conversion project. What have you got? Thanks.

You may want to consider 6 x 16 Fuchs. Better tire selection, more around and usually not as pricey as the 15 ' s sought by the early 911 crowd.

This just got posted on Pelican.

I'd like the best set possible and within reason dollar-wise. The ones on the Samba, he doesn't want to ship.

The samba is a good place to check for wheels as they have a category. Seems like 1000 is an average low price. Don't get chrome. It can harden the wheel and lead to cracking.

What I meant is 16's on a narrow car don't look right…….

Are you looking for flat 15x6s or "deep sixes"?

Timing may or may not be good, but I might have a set of deep sixes freshly restored by Weidman with fresh Dunlop 195/65R15s I'd part with, but need to find other wheels first.

Best,

pete

Yes. Deep sixes, I don't really need the tires, but…..?

I met a 356 driver at the 914 event in the Smokies (Tail of the Dragon) this weekend that has three sets of 6/15 5 lug wheels he wants to sell. Try John at jmn20@yahoo.com. he is in Tenn. Al
