My dad has a '69 911 and needs a pair of 15x6 original Fuchs to replace the 14s he has on the front. His birthday is this weekend and I really want to get him something worthy of a 50th b-day gift. Can anyone help me out? I am in San Diego and will be driving to Ventura for his party. If there is anyone who is anywhere between or near these locations (or even southern california in general) and is willing/wanting to sell a pair of early 911 Fuchs, PLEASE let me know! I'd really like to give them to him on Saturday, then get him up to the Streets of Willow on the 5th of October for a track day on some new tires and wheels.

Thanks!

What about the guy in CA that is really well known for restoring/polishing wheels...
Al Reed????

opps - Looks like Gregor beat me to it -
However, if you buy the wheels from Al, they
will be absolutely beautiful...

Hey, those are my wheels. Greg Robbins has a set of 15x6 I traded him that Al Reed refinshed and I think they are for sale. He's in the Phoenix area I think. He's on this board, send him a PM. Al Reed does good work, however; I don't think he ever has anything for sale. He just does refinishing, no sales as far as I know.

Here, I found his FS thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=97974&hl=

I had Al Reed refinish these and mount new tires on them, probably still have zero mileage.

Kev is right, the wheels are available. Never installed. Call me if your interested. I can bring them to the 914 Swap Meet in Riverside to save on shipping. 602-291-3525. And yes, they are beautiful!
