Hi Guys,
A friend and I might buy a 931 to get some parts off it, including some 16x6 Fuchs. How can you tell the fake ones from the real stuff? Thanks, Matt |

If they have 6 lugs, they're fake.
Clean all the brake dust off the backs and look for a part number starting in 911 and a symbol that looks like a fox head. Search the archives or google the part number and you should be able to confirm what they are. |

Are you sure that a 931 (aka 924) uses the same offset Fuchs as a 911/914?

Look for the triangle with the P inside it.
