Was just wondering about the16"- 7" & 8" wheels on Ebay for $549.00, (sorry, I don't know how to put a link to them on here) I see them advertised quite often and was considering purchasing them. Was wondering if anyone had any idea if they are a good wheel to buy or to avoid them. I know cheaper isn't always better & I don't want to buy a cat in a sack. Was thinking of reworking the spokes by having them polished as the centers and spokes are all black. Please advise.

Check out the 17" repros on this thread page. Real Fuchs are considered stronger, but they're getting old enough that some are starting to crack from what I've heard.

got a link?

I have never heard of 16” forged Fuchs getting cracks. Cast wheels are not the same weight or strength. I do not know what the new generations of repros are before these from the Philippines but the cast repros from 20 years ago where heavy junk. Also real 7” and 8” on EBay if the correct offset never go for $549. I got a set of real Fuchs from a Turbo Carrera for $1,000 and that was a good deal. Picked them up so no freight. Someone like Al Reed would know if real Fuchs were failing.
