Maybe it's not new, but I haven't seen it before.
I love the look of RSR Fuchs. But I can only afford Cookie Cutters right now. So I'm trying to make the best of it, and give the cookie cutters the best chance they will have at looking the part. It's a fun little project. Please let me know what you think. Please note, these are just rough mock-ups at this stage, just to test the concept. If they look good, I will clean them up and paint them nicely. For now, they were just wiped down with a rag, masked, and sprayed. So please don't fret about poor masking, paint imperfections, or the minor curb rash. Here's the first one: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.4.jpg) Yes, my 4 year old and I were doing arts and crafts together. I thought the wheel turned out pretty nice! But it wasn't quite what I was looking for. On this one, I painted the entire lip silver. But I understand that RSR wheels had the outside edge polished. So I decided to try that next: |

Those are not just any cookie cutters.
I think those came on the rear of early 911SCs only. Anyone ? 15 x 7 or is it 8 " ? They look beautiful. THEY are perfect for a Vanagon Westy. But would be a real adaptation. 5 on 130 vs 5 on 112, backspace ? who knows ? |

I'll look on the backside of them the next time I have the wheels off. Have you seen that either Empi or a Flat Four make a reproduction Fuchs in 5x112, with the correct backspacing for a Vanagon? That might end up cheaper than buying a set of cookies and a set of adapters. |
