914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Will these Fuchs copies fit my 914 with AA GT flares?

Posted by: Rbcm2005 Jun 7 2012, 02:34 PM

I give up on looking for real Fuchs with the RSR finish that are in decent shape and at all affordable.

Found these on a tip from another thread:

http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=C32-FU172B

7 x 17. I will be installing them on AA's 5 lug adapters which means that they will be sticking out an additional 1 inch.

Is the 5x130mm bolt pattern what I want - or the 5 x 112?

Thanks as always for all the help here.

those look like the type of copies with the square cut pedals.
not a good look in person

you can have real fuchs refinished in and RSR finish

I guess it depends if you
1) really have to have 17's
2) mind having that square cut pedal that looks a lot like a fake

I think Brant is correct, put these on yer v dub, they'll look strange on a Porsche. Call Henry at supertec performance, he's had wheels around. He and I traded a set a few years ago. Also, maybe give Al Reed a call. He does the refinishing and he may have a lead on some wheels.

I saw a set of brand new 16" Fuchs replicas at Parts Heaven (in their showroom) and they looked much closer to the original in finish.

I have two 17 X 9 from Wheel Dude in the RSR finish. They are very nice and are priced well 689.00 for two shipped to me in Florida.
TC also has a pair of them.

^^^ dont mean to still the tread but what flares you running width and make with what tire size? Also you must have the engine out the ride height looks really high unless you rally..
