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.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Tom...I did ask an expert about the "MAHLE" wheels. George Hussey at A.A.. he confermed, some months ago it seems, that they ARE PAINTED.(.a particular silver color which is hard to find.) when I pressure washed them...the paint came off..down to the PRIMER. one set of the MAHLEs is back to original(without the clearcoat so far). I think I will try to see how they look with just the topmost of the ribs HIGHLY polished. I don't want to become a wheel polishing expert as it,s dam hard work just by hand, but I didn't want to use anything mechanical(up to this point anyway) just because it would have been easy to overpolish the "FUCHS "and go beyond the original apperance.
