I need some education what to look for on purchasing FUCHS RIMS.

I saw some with black , some with white. Does that suppose to match the car body?

I saw some cap are plain some with logo on it. Which is original ?

Anything I should watch out for?

What is the reasonable price ?


Tks.
Billy

Polished petals and rim is factory. The background should be dull aluminum with some imperfections. They came that way. Factory caps in nice condition are hard to find. Most are dented and dinged. Also, most wheels have screwdriver marks on the wheel centers from idiots that didn't pop them off from the back side. I replaced mine with the machine aluminum ones from 914rubber and I prefer them over OEM. They also have a wider flange that covers most of the screwdriver marks that were on my wheels. The factory wheels are very strong and light 12lbs. You wont find anything in the after market close to that spec. One reason why people want these wheels. Expect to pay 600-800 for driver quality. 1000-1200 for super nice. Unless you want painted, raw finish is the way to go imo. I think the going rate to have them re-finished is about $250 per wheel. The clear anodize must be removed which adds to the cost.
