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.

Tom...this is murray.,,I found your questions intresting.,and it was informative to me personally to "discover" facts about my fuchs that I just never thought about. maybe this information will be of use to someone...this helps me toward conferming that I really do have a real 1973 2.0 S. this car has every option except a heated rear window. I must say that I prefer the look of the mahle wheels which were also available. I suppose you could have a choise at the dealer, but I am pretty sure the 2.0 S came with the fuchs as a standard equipment , maxed out, upgraded "super car!!!!" 914. for 1973. I prefer the original FUCHS unpainted look also, could you assist in helping me find the article/ info you mentioned to remove the paint safely. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Tom ...This is murray well the 914 S I have came with three set of rims . one set was the "fuchs" we were discussing, and the other two are "mahle"s. the UPDATE is simply that I have removed the background Black paint on the Fuchs .(why in hell the P.O. had these painted is beyond me). The paint was crappy, which was good ...as it came off resonably easy, with paint stripper and brake kleen. Then I did a little polishing , with a little corse rubbing compound to do some deep cleaning, and then fine polished with fine rubbing compound . The "spokes" were compounded and polished to a new condition, all done by HAND....the "spokes " came highly polished as compaired to the recessed spokes. there was no anidization, or optical illusion factor. The wheels are back to O.E.M. apperance...and look GREAT!. I steamed cleaned (again) both sets of "MAHLE,s". and found an exact color match of (for ) spraying painting these wheels...one set is finished. but I cannot decide which, or what brand of clear coat to use. Seems like there are some choises, but I dont want them hazing over, or turning yellow If the clear coat is crap. I am very fortunate to have gotten so many O.E.M. spares with the car. I appreciate all of you guys input . about "wheels". thanks. If there were a symbol for work your ass off I would have used it here.(polishing). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
