I'd be looking for ~400. Tires are good with at least 75-80% tread remaining


They are late offset wheels 16x7 and 16x8






The fuchs are 15x7 an 15x8 and can come without tires or with the crappy tires on them. What do these guys usually go for?

I can take better pics of the wheels sometime soon if needed

Don't know... They felt similar to my friends late offset 15" pds..these have a slightly smaller sidewall and I think tires weight quite a bit.

HA!

I have the same rims as Mike (ROH ZS) and I just measured their weights compared to the stock late offset 16" phone dials last week. By measuring the total weight of the wheel/tire combo and then going on tirerack to substract out the weight of the tires, I came up with the following...

Phone Dial 16x7 = 20.5 lb
Phone Dial 16x8 = 22 lb
ROH ZS 16x7 = 18 lb
ROH ZS 16x8 = 20 lb

There you have it! I used a bathroom scale but I think the weights should be fairly accurate or at least give an indication of the weight difference of the two types of wheels. Looks like a two pound difference per wheel.

Thanks for the info Makes me less tempted to sell them as I'll be replacing them with 18" wheels .. never thought I'd do that!

Here's a couple of pics of my set after I cleaned them up quite a bit. Nice dish in the back of these wheels for a 16" wheel I think...









And here are some pics of them on the car. Sorry about the quality they are the only ones I can get my hands on atm.

Mike, polish the lip on them and paint the center a different color. Gun metal / anthracite would look good. Those have potential to be some killer looking wheels with the big lip in the back. I saw this car when it was sitting outside a service shop in my area, probably after the guy cracked the block. I thought exactly that about the wheels when i saw them.

How is the car coming along?

The car is finally almost done... money has been tight with the new job (had to quit my machine shop/race car job when I moved to Albany I hope to be driving it come wed.. knock on wood

I'm thinking about trying to get rid of the fuchs and keep the 16" wheels... I'm not sure if I will like the weight of the new wheels I'm planning on getting and it would be nice to not have to replace the tires for my n/a..

Do any of ya have an idea of how much the fuchs usually go for and what is a good deal?

Not sure what Fuch's go for. May want to post them on the 911 classifieds (try the Pelican one) as there may be more interest on there. In my experience things sell pretty quick on there.

Congrats on getting the car running. Gotta love the Guards Red 951's .

I might be interested in those phone dials- what kind of tires and size do you have mounted on them?
