Which Fuchs do I have?? I was told by the seller that they were the big $ 15's, but don't think they are the deep offset one's. What is an 911r and how would one tell. I pulled them once with and remember a J by the size and then some other writing that looked like it was done with a engraver... I'll pull them again as soon as I get a soft socket.
Sorry this is the best pic I have of my wheels

Those are fake Fuchs. Very dangerous for the street. Weak POSs.

Send them to me, postage paid, and I'll protect you from them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

ferg,

you need to pull them again and get the part #.
Very unlikely they are R wheels...

I don't clearly remember from seeing your car, but I think they are late style 6inchers (with a very nice finish)

crap... I was just looking for my wheel notes with the part numbers for an early versus late...
can't find my notes....

let us know when you find your soft socket. mine finally powdered its fiberglass insert after only 30 yrs of use - what's up with that !? i've been perusing back issues of Panorama (i know is used to be advertised in there...) but haven't found it yet ... 1/2" drive is important , impact-rated would be nice...

(for removal...)

Most of the mail-order outfits sell 'em. Including places with shiny glossy print catalogs, and other places with on-line catalogs.

They look like "deep" 6 inchers to me....the later wheels had a flatter face.

yes they do. that birdy place sure makes you search for 'em tho ! lessee -- are they under tools - anywhere -- nope ... did finally find it in the 'Socks' section. no mention of whether it's 1/2" or 3/8" drive. says it's Nylon-filled.

over at another PP place - Hmm -- looks to be the identical picture, costs more, claims it's Teflon-impregnated aluminum filled. no mention of the drive size.

i'll keep looking for a little while - it'll get tacked onto my next parts order - won't be too long i'm afraid. too soon yet to know where it'll get placed - i do tend to spread the business around based on many factors, but -nobody- should be complaining lately :-) ...

Mike F,

I found my notes...
here are some of the numbers .. for 6inch rims at least. (the R rims are 7's and I believe the magical part about them is that their offset is the same as a 14inch fuchs)

for 6inchers:
Deep # is 901.361.012.06
Flat # is 911.361.020.00 or 911.361.020.10


pull them, clean them (I know you hate to clean things right?) with some PS-21 and a garden hose and see what you've got.

Brant is correct with the numbers he has. The offset for both of those Fuchs are the same 36mm.
The Fuchs 911R number is 901.361.012.05 49mm offset.
If you have the 901.361.012.06 deep dish wheel I would hang on to those. Some of the factory 914-6s came with those wheels, and I think they are becoming harder to find.
Just my $.02

I am wondering about wheels a lot.

If I get a 5 lug conversion, can I use pretty much any set of 911 wheels? WHat can I get under the stock fenders???

Could I do 17x7s on the back and 17x6s on the front with fairly low profiles?? 18s?? Too expensive?? I want to get some slick OZ or BBS wheels on there.

Fiid.

Bran the 14" wheel has a 46mm offset, very close to the R wheel.
FIID you can use the 7x16 911 offset,on the front and back with a little lip roll and a 205x45x16 tire.
I have included apic of the deep six on my six.
