Wow really nice. That cloth looks like you could use it for the stock speaker covers. Maybe someone could use it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

They are just a set of repros. Look exactly like originals except the center caps. 16x7 and 16x8, with the same offset as originals. Got them off ebay for, what i think, is a damn good price. Lots cheaper than a brand new set of fuchs.

They will be wrapped in some rubber in about two weeks. Looking at some BFG g-sport, i think thats the name.

Personally, repros or not, i could care less, they are AWESOME!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This is my first time every seeing a set of fuchs in real life, so excuse my infatuation with them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

they came from ebay, for about 570 plus 70 for shipping. Took two days to get from florida to illinois!!! got the email they shipped yesterday and i signed for them today. that reminds me, i need to leave some feedback for the seller wheelsandcaps, awesome seller!!!!

Are they heavy? I will need a set this summer as well and have been watching those for some time. It is SOOOO hard to find tires for the 15x8.....

They look good. Name brand or not, as long as YOU are happy with YOUR ride, that's all that matters. I'd be just as elated. Looks good man!

Don't you just love it whenever you get new parts or tools in the mail? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

weight: Fronts = 18lbs
Rears = 19lbs

don't know if you guys consider that heavy or not. I will say this. The rims weigh a lot less than my cheapo rims that came with the car that were 15x6's!!!!!

Structure is cast aluminum alloy

here is a link to the rims on ebay, the guy normally has about 3 to 4 sets on ebay.

Ebay fuchs

And yes, getting parts in the mail is the best part about a restomod, building a car is like having christmas/birthdays more than once a year, when i know a part is going to show up on a given day all i can think about is getting home and opening the box to check them out

Rota makes a 17" set of 8's & 9's fake Fuchs in a number of finishes. I bought a set of the rsr style mat finish for my track day car. I am very happy with them.
