What is the difference between a 15 x 6 Flat Fuchs and Deep 6? Pics and part numbers would help?

in my eyes, this is the best picture to show the difference between the "deep six" ("Old" Fuchs) and "flat six" (New" Fuchs)

What is the backspacing needed for a 914? I'm looking for some 7x15 and 8x15 wheels and I see 2 backspaces: 112mm and 138mm.

that's per wheel....1500-1800 for a set of deep early in primo shape.

$1600 might get you a set that need to be restored. Fully restored sets typically run $2200-$2600 (and I've seen them for up to $3k).

Nice photo gustl!
that photo explains soooo much.looks like the "new" fuchs are stronger but alittle heavier ?

Great pic gustl! Would not have gotten it otherwise! So $1600 for a refinished set without center caps is a good deal then?

Hey James...I guess my estimate for a set of deep was light...out of my price range either way. I could of won a real nice set of deep ones off ebay for 1800 not too long ago, but I stopped being interested when the price climbed over 1200.

I bought of set of matched 16X6, 16 X 7 78 fuchs fully polished for $700 and the guy delived them in Ventural at the Ventura show. I'm very happy with them.
