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.

Are the Fuchs -00 or -01 P.N.s?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I would guess that there is really no way to know for sure, if after-the-fact machining on any -00 wheels is by the "factory" (Fuchs, Mahle, Pedrini, etc.), or if it was done by another machine shop. However, my guess is that it would be cost prohibitive to ship 1.5x to Europe & back (1st with car, then a round trip) for a set of wheels, just to have them machined for the self-centering hub's lips, so that they would most likely have been done by an aftermarket fix here in the US/CAN, or whichever country of first shipment/sale of the car in question. I know that I've seen ads online where the seller states that they had the set of "xxx" -00 wheels for sale, machined for the hub-centric hub fitment. BTW - the non-hub-centric or non-self-centering hubs on the 914/4s, VWs & similar hub cars were not lug-centric - since there are no studs on which to "center" the wheels! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) My method was to sit cross-legged, prop the tire/wheel on my legs & forhead while guiding the lug bolt in an upper hole to get it centered - what a pain in the A!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Fortunately today they sell the brass centering studs to ease the process. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
