Thread: Poll on Fuchs style wheels

    Poll on Fuchs style wheels

    Hi All,
    I have contact to a manufacturer of Fuchs style wheels forged made with alloy monoblock.
    They come in:
    4 x 15 ET 10
    5 x 15 ET 23
    6 x 15 ET 35
    7 x 15 ET 23
    8 x 15 ET 10
    9 x 15 ET -3
    10 x 15 ET -15
    11 x 15 ET -27
    12 x 15 ET -40
    no half inch steps are offered,but color and polishing upon request.
    All these are pretty expensive due to the fact that they are forged monoblock and not cast alloy.
    I would like to know which ones would be the most interested from us for projects, racing and concours cars.
    The new production run starts in June and I want to have the most wanted sizes in stock.

    Stefan,

    Nice looking replicas. How about 16's??? Any thought of manufacturing these for track purposes?

    16 in

    Hi All,
    Thanks for all your input so fast.
    They will not make 16 in as they are many out there producing 3 piece wheels or cast wheels and I do not believe they will go that way.
    Other sources tell me that there are some manufacturer working on forged 16 in already.
    warm regards Stefan

    7r

    I agree with Scott. I am going to have 6" wheels widened to r spec. I would buy forge replicas instead of a welded wheel

    Will they make an equal number of matching 15" tires too?

    I think the selection of 15 tires is pretty slim on our side of the pond.

    Stefan,
    If you have any say in the design before they go to production, you should advise them to remove the small wheel weight lip from the outside rim edge. Real Fuchs did not have these.

    Another vote for 7Rs. Stephen, when you say "pretty expensive", approximately how "pretty" will be price range?
