Real Fuchs or imitation?

"They're real and they're spectacular". It would appear they are Theron and the part number should have 11 digits and the 6 and 7's will have a different number.

The chart shows you part numbers,offsets and years applied.

"They're real and they're spectacular"

I see what ya did there, @MikelB. 

I agree with @MikelB, Theron, they appear to be genuine Fuchs.  Check the part #'s against the chart.  I've never heard of/seen replicas with the fox logo, part numbers and manufacture dates cast in- I didn't think that kind of fine detail was possible with the casting technology used for wheels, and doing so would just invite too much trouble from lawyers.  Porsche (and probably Fuchs as well) has a whole division of lawyers ready to pounce on something like this.  There will also be a weight difference- a cast replica will be heavier than a forged Fuchs.  Something in the back of my mind says that the weights in the chart for 16x6's and 16x7's is not accurate; those numbers listed are a couple(?) pounds heavy.  I know there is a 4 lb. difference between a 15x6 Fuchs and the lightest replica out there.

And good to see someone saved that wheel chart (I believe I posted it originally).

More than you ever wanted to know about 15" Fuchs wheels _{(and how gaga all the Samba idiots have gotten over them- they're the ones who have driven up the prices to well past ridiculous on used Fuchs wheels.  I really don't see the point in hoarding them like some of these guys do, but oh well...)}

@MikelB @ALB  Thanks much. Very helpful.

The tires have a 2013 date code, so they are toast.

If I'm going to replace them, I have to figure out a price.  It's amazing how much the spread of sales is on BAT.  Although they have not listed a powder coated set.

thanks again
