Hello, I recently just bought 2 sets of Fuchs(only got 2 because it was buy 1 get 1 free (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)). I was in the market for buying some real ones and just want to see if I did well or not. It would help if any of you out there could help me out with what i should look for in the wheel to tell if they're authentic or not. first picture is a 15x7 from a set of 15x7 fronts and 15x8 rears. Second picture is the set I was actually getting. 16x7 fronts and 16x8 rears with new firestone tires. For some reason the person before me that owned them had them balanced on the front of the rims...Any help would be much appreciated!

they are a 911 part number ... You could find the part number in PET should you desire. they also have the Fuchs Fox cast into them.
the 914 shot was probably a 4 lug Fuchs. |

I hope I'm not asking you for too much, but could you specify PET? I don't know how to search it since all it brings up is pet related searches lol. Much thanks to all who helped me too! |

PET is the Porsche electronic parts catalog. They're about 11-12 bucks from the dealer on CD ROM. You can also access it online at: http://www.porsche.com/usa/accessoriesands...partscatalogue/ Pick your model, go for it! The Cap'n |
