    Are these real Fuchs wheels & what trailing arms and brakes are these?

    These wheels were on my 66' 911 when i bought them but I am not entirely sure if they are some imitation wheel or RSR Fuchs.

    The back stamp shows 911361020 05 or 95 at the end. Below it is stamped, AS AS162 281390. On the next spoke it says 11JX1. (edited, i thought the 1 was a 4. Part number 911361020 05)

    Are they any other indicators that i should be looking for?

    The tires on them are 345/35/15's and the wheels look to be 15x11 ish. Hard to tell exactly with tire on it.

    Are they worth anything?

    One last thing, anyone know if this is a LWB trailing arm and what brakes these are? The wheel base measures up to almost a LWB car, but i just cant figure it out. What should i be looking for since I'm bringing this back to 1966 condition.

    Based on my image search SWB trailing arms have the brake line bracket sitting at the 9 o'clock position, and the LWB trailing arms have the brake line bracket sitting at about the 11:30 Position relative to my photo looking onto it.

    I believe the number on a 11 x 15 Fuchs wheel should be 911 361 020 05...

    Nah, just a pair of boat anchors. PM me your address, I'll come take 'em off your hands, no charge.

    Kidding, those appear to be real RSR Fuchs and are enormously valuable. Not sure what current values are but probably close to, or over, five figures. Keep them under lock and key. Part number should be 911.361.020.05

    Just looked closer and its actually a 1 not a 4. I corrected the part number in the post. The arch in the top of the 1 looked like a 4, but its indeed a 1.

    Does anyone have an idea of who could authenticate these wheels? If that's a thing?

    The trailing arms are LWB (69 to 73) steel arms. I need a picture of the shock attachment to determine the exact date range they may be. The brakes appear to be standard "M" calipers.

    Awesome, Thanks Jim for confirming that. I will get a photo tonight and see if I can get that info. Am I correct to assume that SWB 65-68 trailing arms bolt right up to the chassis mounts and then the car is now 57mm-ish shorter wheelbase?

    Wash the inside of the wheels (no solvent) so you have a clean surface - you may still have the original Fuchs stamp, and you should also have a date engraved, at the base of one of the spoke MMYY.

    No they don't. The attaching points for LWB vs SWB are in different locations.
