I was planning on using the 15x7 Fake Fuchs shown below for my turbo Subaru engine & 5-speed trans project, but I saw an ad in the SF Bay Craigslist auto parts section for some BBS rims off a Porsche 930 and called the guy right away. I've always liked the look of BBS rims, especially the E52 rims. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
When he confirmed that it was $300 for all four, I almost choked. I met him this morning and to pick them up. They've got a few small nicks-n-scratches, but they're otherwise gorgeous! I plan to paint the centers black to go along with the orange I'm planning for the car (I'm a big SF Giants fan, sadly). The fronts are 16x7 and the rears are 16x9, so these should fill out my flared car nicely. He told me that he received a boatload of calls & emails, with many guys offering more than he initially offered but he stuck with me and refused their offers. It is good to see that there are still some honest folks out there -- especially when they give me a deal! |

You don't want fake Fuchs for the track. They should only be for street.
Nice find... and I hate you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) They should look sweet on your car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

Fachs which is what we sometimes call the fake Fuchs are known to crack and even break. Track stress would likely bring that about sooner... Are you off your crutches? |

Yup, but I'm still hobbling around like a drunken soldier. I'll be healed enough to join you at the March get-together, though!

I'm able to get out to my appointments - PT, MD, etc... Too long on my feet and I hurt pretty good. My 914 is sitting there mocking me. I would love to take a picture of it for everyone but the garbage cans get me teased... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
