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...So in my wonderment ..about WHY these original "FUCHS" wheels fit..(and do not look like the photograph you showed, of the inside step cut, )..FOR HUB_CENTRIC hubs ..I decided to find out why...( sorry no photographs/I am photo-graph -computer-interface challenged_hope to be resolved soon).....I measured the INSIDE DIAMENTER and DEPH of the "FUCHS" wheels....I measured the OUTSIDE diamenter AND HEIGHT of the "HUB CENTRIC" front hubs....Here,s the result...the CENTERBORE of the "FUCHS" wheels is ..3.180.ths (.approx...81mm.)...AND the depth cut is .550 ths. The "HUB CENTRIC" Hub is 3.090 ths (approx. 78.5 mm)...and the hub centric....hub stands .525 ths above the level surface of the rotor, lug-bolt, mounting holes......THEREFORE : there is .090 ths (approx 2.5 mm) clearance in inside diamenter ...AND... there is .025 ths of clearance inside the wheel to the top of the "hub"....That is why they FIT!...and I would say they look like factory machined , cuts, and finish , inside the wheel....Maybe these were sent back to "FUCHS" remachined, to fit the hubcentric hubs,?. ... AND I measured the "mahle" wheels also.. they have a .002 to .005 ths..inside / outside clearance , mating between the "hub and wheel". tight fit but enough!....BTW...my front disc calapers have two bleed ports....and the rears have only one.(at the top of the calaper..which is all you need anyway)...Just like yours.
