15x6" Fuchs replicas for sale- $400

TED PIERSON, where are you? Fuchs!!

Guys, I'd love for someone here to take them. The big deal would be shipping...

Oh Man.... I just picked up wide 5 disks. I don't have room for adaptors.

Best of luck with the sale,
Ted

No problem, Ted. I'd love for them to end up on someone's car here, but who knows. And your car will look bitchen with wide 5's! Send me a pic or 2 when you get it all back together. Al

Hello Al,

 

Thanks Al! My car has always had wide 5's. I just upgraded to disks in the rear. That trans has to be done soon or I'll go broke upgrading everything else.

 

Ted

You won't go broke, Ted; you'll do like I do and pack sandwiches and leftovers to work so you can steal your lunch money (the boss has no idea what I spend on this car) or be like Carl and eat more beans and rice.

 

With your avatar of the car with the hubcaps on I never knew it was already wide 5, and it you mentioned it before I forgot, but very cool! If there were lightweight wide 5 discs and wheels available when I started this I probably would have gone that route, as I've always loved that look on these cars. But then, the look just right with the 5 spoke alloys as well....

 

Any word on when you're getting the transaxle back?

Ken originally said 3-4 weeks. Last Thursday was the end of week 4. Based on the way he said "3 to 4", I kind of assumed he meant 'more like 5...'. This week is just starting the 5th week. The way I'm looking at it, it's not really 'late' if he gets it done this week. I pretty much counted on it being done on it's current timeline.

 

I just get bored easily and have to occupy my time somehow.

 

Had I known I needed to upgrade my master cylinder, I may have stuck with the rear drums.

 

Best of luck with the sale. I wonder if Sloan will buy them?

 

Ted

Ted, a master cylinder is only a couple of lunches..

It's not the cost, it's the hassle.

 

I'm kind of dreading getting under there and wrastlin with some of those heavily rusted nuts on the MC. Maybe I'll start hitting them with some PB in hopes that everything goes as planned.

 

Back to your regularly scheduled for sale thread.

5 - 6" Fuchs replicas? $400.00 somebody jump on these.

 

Ted

I'd buy them, but I have the same wheels on my IM.

If no one on this forum buys them try the Airspeed forum.

$400 is a great price for five wheels. What are you replacing them with?

They'd sell fast on http://www.914world.com/ and listing there is free.  Make price $500 since 5 and be willing to reduce price $50 for pick up.

I've got the same ad on the Airspeed forum, Ron. I'd rather see them go on an SOC car, but with the hassles (and cost) of shipping such large items, the better deal would be local. Mind you, even with shipping, they are cheaper than new...

 

I have 4 15x6" and a pair of 15x7" original Fuchs (all late, 911 part #'s) that I've had for some time. It's just time to clean out the garage a bit. Any one need a pair of Berg 356/912 manifolds for IDA's? I think I've got some 40P11 to VW manifolds as well. Tall IDA Scat trak manifolds ? Berg short IDA (GB 587) manifolds? Even with these, the IDA's and air cleaners wouldn't fit in the Speedster's engine compartment. I've really got to get all these listed on the Samba some day.....

 

PS- I may look into that, Greg. Thanks.

I may be interested  in the fuchs...pics and where they at? Alan

Al, are you going to put the real Fuchs wheels on your IM?

Yes I am, Ron.

I am VERY interested in these wheels. I live in Maryland and will pay for shipping.
Denis

Denis- Alan Merklin was interested in them and I need to send him a couple of pics (my son will have to help me); if he passes I'll let you know.

 

Again, 4 have had tires mounted and been on my Speedster in the garage, but have never been outside so are in like new condition; no scratches or curb rash. The 5th is still in the original box. All were bought new by me. Al

 

PS- I also have 2 complete type 1 rear brake assemblies (new shoes and wheel cylinders), the drums have been drilled for the 5x130mm (Porsche) stud pattern and will fit original Porsche press-in studs.

If Alan passes, I definitely want them. Thanks

Denis....I was going to take them off his hands , let them sit in my shop for the future ....you are welcome to grab them ....alan

I will take them. Let me know the shipping costs

 to 95603

 

Let me know what the shipping costs are.
95603, california

------------------------------

Denis is next in line ~

what about the drums? price?

Denis- I'll pm you later today.

Anthony- If it doesn't work with Denis I'll let you know. Al

So that 'very interested' guy on Airspeed wasn't interested?

So let me know what the best shipping method is.


------------------------------

Never heard back from him; he thought there were tires with the rims.

What do you want for the brake assemblies?

Give me some prices on the manifolds...........

Not sure if i missed the pm. I sent you one on the 20th.  I'm using my phone to check so maybe it isn't displaying properly. i do still want the wheels

For $400    What a cheap bastard.
