I've got a nice set of 951 fuchs. These have the 23.3 offset & work great on a 914. Was saving these for my v8 car but it's going nowhere soon. Could use the cash for another project. So figured to throw these up & see the interest. Just repolished the lips. The painted centers could use a refresh. Overall these are really nice wheels. There are a couple small scratches but no curb rash.

$1500 plus shipping

Last couple numbers. Although the one ending with 117 is the 16x7. The one above it ending in 115 ends is the 16x8

The new 914 I just bought and will get delivered tomorrow has very nice Pedrinis, but I love the looks of the Fuchs. Will the 8" work on a narrow body 914?

Of course I would need to convert to 5 lug. Any one document the typical costs to do a 5 lug conversion?

Stock narrow body car no 16x8's won't work. With rolling the lips & a little pulling in the rears. Yes they can. If you don't want to mess with your rear quarters. I'd stick with 16x7's. They are workable on a stock car but still require rolled lips most of the time.

I absolutely agree on loving Fuchs. The 16" are my favorite. Especially polished lips with painted centers

Depends which route you want to take. My car came with drilled rotors when I bought it, but I didn't trust the front being drilled so two months ago i went with 911 front struts.
73 911 front struts + rebuilt m-calipers - $150
ball joints (switched from pinch bolt to taper pin) - $150
911 front hubs - $150
brake discs - $100 ish
Hawk performance plus pads - $80
wheel bearings - $25 ish
In the end I probably spent around $650+ for just the front conversion. Keeping in mind that I didn't switch the A-arms and torsion bars to 911.

Great Price JRust, I just wish it wasn't so close to Christmas. Wife and I promised not to buy each other anything for Christmas, I wonder if we can renegotiate.

Great idea, maybe put them on a gold chain or bedazzle them with diamonds. Distract her from what they really are!

Wow I'm surprised! I figured these would go the first day Guess the timing sucks. Oh well if I end up keeping them that's okay too. I'll use them eventually

There is nothing wrong with the condition of the wheels or the price, I have a pair of 16x7's and I considered buying the set just because of the price(I learned that one from my wife, "its like two wheels were free"). Have you considered splitting them up, I may be a buyer on the 8's?

Posted by: JRust Nov 10 2014, 09:26 PM

I'd prefer to sell as a set but??? Of course most the value is in the 8's. I'll think on it some. If you have something in mind splitting them. Shoot me a PM

Do you have them posted for sale on Pelican? These are the perfect wheel for an SC/80's backdated car Give it a shot, it's certainly a better market than us broke ass 914 guys...haha

Temporary price reduction to help me buy a motor this weekend. $1300 plus shipping

That's a smoking price on these, Jamie. Have you tried to list them on Early 911 Registry? Wheels sell fast over there.

Posted by: Gloy62 Jan 5 2015, 09:29 PM

Do you know what it would cost to ship them to San Diego?

I would love to put these on my 930...but I need 9x16 on the rear.

Posted by: MoveQik Jan 6 2015, 12:17 PM

That is a GREAT price and they look really nice on a 914, IMHO.

Posted by: JRust Jan 6 2015, 12:58 PM

Wheels are SOLD Thanks for all the interest. Funny they were on here a month & only had real interest the last 3 days. Guess the price drop of $200 was the kicker. LOL! I thought they were a steal at $1500 too

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 6 2015, 01:02 PM

The $200 covers shipping, balance, tire mount and a bit towards new tires. 3 wins.

Posted by: sixnotfour Jan 7 2015, 08:52 PM

these are rare wheels ....I will keep my last set for a while at that price...
