Question What size Fuch's do I have???

I have a 1978SC with dull, weathered Fuch's. I'm looking to replace them with new or near new (refinished, probably with Wheel Enhancement) Fuch's. How do I determine the width of the wheel while they are on the car. Is it stamped on the wheel anywhere? I like the look of the size I have and want to order the same thing. Or, I'm open to suggestions.
And before you ask, I'm keeping the old ones for track setup.
While you're at it, suggestions on street tires for touring and pleasure would be welcomed.

If you take them off and look at the back all the relevant information can be found.

Most likely they are 6x16 +36mm front, and 7x16 +23.3mm rear

Don't replace them, get them refinished by Mr. Al Reed - he did mine for less than $100 a wheel.

How do I get in touch with Mr. Reed? Also, Tire suggestions, anyone?

Much cheaper than Wheel Enhancement, and very good quality work.

For tires, it depends on what you're doing with the car. S-03's or BFG G-Forces are probably the best street tires. Falken Azenis are a great borderline r-compound tire at a great price.
