On eBay Germany is a set of 4-lug Fuchs wheels for sale, which looks somehow strange:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/251986640607 They have Fuchs markings, but they look different in some details. Compare just these two pics:   Does anybody know something about them ?? Gustl |

The say "forged" with the Fuchs logo on the front. I wonder if they made this variation so they could sell on the open market without Porsche legal problems.
They look neat. I would love to have a set in my collection. |

Those are odd, at first I'd think prototypes, but if that "74" is a date it looks like 1974 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Gustl "5J x 15 ET 41mm" stamped in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Well, the normal so called "Babyfuchs" have 5,5J x 15 ET 40 mm. That looks really mysterious. Is it an H2 wheel? |
