Hi Guys,

A local VW guy has a set of (4) real Fuchs wheels that are straight with no curb rash. They have been sitting in his garage for a long time (5-6 yrs) on a project that went bust. I checked the #'s and they are real Fuchs, but real dirty from sitting.
(2) Fuchs 6"x16"
(2) Fuchs 7"x16"
What are these wheels worth in today's market. Asking price is around $700 OBO?? Wondering, before I make an offer????? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Hello World,

Make sure you know what you are dealing with, check the numbers on the inside of the back pedals (5). There should be a triangle with a PD (Porsche Design) and then the size 7J x 15. On the next pedal it should have some Porsche part #'s like 911. 361.020 then a square with two #'s stamped in it. Below the square should be the tell tale Fuchs symbol of the FOX. Some will actually tell you the ET (Offset) others do not.


THE MAIN thing is with the offset (ET), the 911's have a 23.3 offset on the front and a 10.6 offset on the rear. This is on the Fuchs with Porsche #'s that start with 911

The Fuchs that were on the 944's have a 23.3 offset all around and do not have the deeper inset look these Fuchs will have a Porsche # that start with 951.

There is a difference and make sure you check before investing. The 911's go for more money especially in the 8" & 9" widths that were made for the Turbo, RS, & RSR stuff.

A well restored 16 x 8" Fuchs wheel will bring $1000. each, the 16 x 9' even more, a price for 16 x 7 & 16 x 6 would be around $150 or so per wheel depending on condition.

If they are chromed, the value is less.

My 02 cents... If they are chromed the value is 0.
