I have straight and true authentic four bolt Fuchs rims with new very well balanced tires and when I installed the concentric centering rings that I got from Chris Foley the little vibration I had went away.

I think they are all hub centric.
They were not introduced until the hub centric rotor in mid 72. rich |

I believe that the initial run of the wheel part number 914 361 011 00 was not hub centric, they were replaced by the factory with part number 914 361 011 01 which is the hub centric version seen in the photo.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That's correct info. - they were NOT all hubcentric. They actually ran the BO Recall in 72 Aug - Dec production to check that the hub-centric 2L wheels were put on the new 73's with hubcentric front hubs! Similarly for the Pedrini & Mahle wheels, which were a different Recall ident. which you can see on Jeff Bowlsby's 914 website page for recalls- http://www.bowlsby.net/914/Classic/Recalls.htm The ones in your pic above appear to have the machined inset to receive the hubcentric lip, allowing the wheel to seat properly & flat against the hub/disk. Here's a pic I did to i.d. the right wheel type -  |
