looks real. Show the other stampings on the back - date, size, ect and the front. Most fakes don't have the right pedal or lip.

I just sold one (heart) that was nice but could use refinishing for $700. Complete sets can bring $3-4.5K.

Real, sometimes the fox head is missing or so faint it's hard to see. Good find. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You seem to have scored on that wheel.

Did you get a full set?

The date will be on the inner ring on the back of the wheel. With early wheels, dates matter.

Hearts as they say are special, a small bulge over the valve stem hole forming a heart shape in that section of the wheel.
I have a set of 5 1/2 x 15 on my car. I love the look!

I'm gonna say fake based on my own 5-lug 15X6s and other real ones that I have seen.

1. The fox head is not on the second line below the part number.

2. Based on those photos, the part numbers and sizes are all stamped, not raised numbers above the surface that were the result of the forging process.

Having said that, I just swapped out mine for new 16X7 Maxilites because I'm too much of a CSOB to pay for real ones.

Real. The triangle with the "P" inside shown in the 2nd picture is Porsche's proprietary mark for genuine parts.

The Samba site is filled with dealers selling aftermarket EMPI Fuchs wheels with hearts.

IMOHO I believe the pictures posted in this thread are real Fuchs wheels.

You need to refocus your eyes they are raised part #'s and sizes. These are real and to seal the deal no one makes fake Fuchs with hearts.


Yep definitely real and raised part numbers etc.

Actually Mike Group 4 Wheels in the UK make fake Fuchs with hearts and also Flat 4 in Japan.

FWIW I thought the numbers were stamped also, but I'm no Fuchs expert (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
