Thank you Your wheels are genuine, you can see the little "fox" stamped in the back, along with the numbers, etc. Fuchs is German for fox. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) .... & also the VW logo & part nos. are correct for the 914. For those looking at these pix regarding their own wheels vs. proper fitment - the p/n on gandolfs ending in the .... .01 relate to that groove around the center hole to fit onto the 73> hub-centric self-centering hub's rimsticking out at the front wheel hubs. There are also p/n .... .00 wheels out there manufactured without the groove (Mahle 4-lug & Pedrini too) which will only fit the 70-72 914s - unless somebody has the grooves machined into the wheels (preferably all 4 or 5 for interchangeability on tire rotation & flats). Fakes - or more correctly, Repros will have that manufacturer's p/n & logo etc. on the back instead. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
