7R Fuchs....

[Darren65]

I recently purchased a batch of four 7R wheels in used but very good straight crack-free condition; the plan is to keep at least two for my car and possibly sell the remaining two, either first restored or as is....

....looking at production dates to pair them up, two dates are very clear, one debatable and one practically invisible and impossible to make out.

I've read somewhere that there is only a handful of dates when 7R's were actually produced....is that correct and if so what were the dates?

I appreciate any feedback....











Cheers,

....a few more photos; at some point the wheels were painted at the back although cleaning them up has revealed a few original stamps....

[Darren65]

...and front and rears in case anyone wants to highlights any observations?....

















Cheers,

Hi Darren, hope you are well. I assume the hard to read one is the last picture in your first post.? Second year number looks like a 2. We know the first non 7R wheels first appeared in March 71, so that wheel must be a 70 wheel.

Hi, i think the production dates are between 67 and the end of 70

Thanks Dave,
That one is actually the debatable date; I also figured it was most likely a 1970 so I guess I'll match it with the 04/70 wheel.
There's nothing to see with the fourth wheel so didn't bother with a photo.

We're 7R's also production month specific?

Nice wheels Marchetto
