You have asked about the fuchs which came on my 914 S....here goes...the O.E.M. spare rim is dated 8-72...and so are all the others.....and they are part#...914.361.011.00 .They look different in /on the backside than THE PHOTOGRAPH with notes you have shown......as a point of intrest the spare RIM and ALL the four on the ground are identical in every way...EXCEPT the four on the ground have a Painted BACKGROUND.....and after looking closely with a magnifing glass its obvious they are painted...and not quite dead flat black....they are Not anodized....the spare tire is an original tire ..DUNLOP 165 hr 15....looks like it and the rim have NEVER been used...the rim is clean and perfect (both sides and the tire has full tread....and is not dry rotted.(cracks showing in sidewalls)..However,.I would never consider using it obviously.

Two things here, and the post will be moved to the nailed thread.
First, I agree that non-hub centric Fuchs were available for very early 2.0's (I don't use the "S" designation because it was a strictly North American marketing tool). I can testify to the non-hub centric Fuchs' because my very late 72 was delivered with the 4 1/2 inch wheels instead of the 5 1/2 wheels of the app grp. The dealer installed a set of Fuchs wheels to placate me, but I didn't like them (yeah...dumb!). They fit, car ran well - I just wanted what I paid for - 5 1/2 in steelies. They removed them, put them back on the 2 liter car they came from & eventually got a proper set of wheels & tires for my car. This was early August 1972. More fun facts for the masses! |
