Thanks lots,

I've seen a high end of $3500 for a pair of 7Rs and a pair of deep 6s beautifully restored with hand painted center caps. To a low end price of $190 a pair for 7Rs when the seller didn't know what they were. Sellers that know usually ask $2k and up a pair.

How rare are 7R's?

Soooo rare many people take a normal deep 6 and have them widened. In the pic the front two are original 7R rims and the part polished ones behind are widened 6s.

If you look at the at the back you can see why they get the name "deep 6".

Just incase anyone is interested here is a side view pic of the 7R rim compared with a 6inch rim.

You can tell that the LH wheel is a late 6 as it has the ridges near the edges so you do not need to run tubes.

OK, my head is spinning.

Can somebody post a "Complete Guide to Fuchs Wheels" with part numbers and functional differences?
