I found some 4-lug Fuchs for sale on CL locally. I have a high-res photo of the front of the wheel. How can I tell if they are real or fake? They have Porsche crest center caps, which made me suspicious that they are OEM.
Also, what's the going rate for a set of 4 authentic 4-lug Fuchs in good to excellent condition? Zach |

Great looking rims! Who did the polishing for you?
Not to hijack the thread, but is this something that can be done by a hack mechanic (myself) or is it better to have a shop polish them? I recently got my hands on a 74 2.0 parts car with a set of 5 rims in mint condition (no curb rash) but they definitely look their age. Thanks  |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) Hey smokey! what size are your five lug rims your putting on? Is you body stock or flared fenders? will 16/6 fronts and 16/7 rear fit under stock fenders? thanks John (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
