Post 16x6 & 16x7 fuchs details.....FYI

I just bought a set and the buyer let me "try before I buy".

I weighed mine: 6x16 weigh 15 lbs, 7x16 weigh 13.5 lbs! I also put on the rear spindal (without rubber) and measured bead run-out, about .010 runnout typ and .025 max?
The side rim had a .010 run out typ. I think these numbers are good. The numbers on rear also start with 911xxxxxxx. Is there anything else to look for?

TIA

Bruce

I'm not very good at doing conversion on line.
I measured in the inch word, .8mm seems like almost 0 run-out in any direction, so .010 inches is a very sloppy wheel? Could also be my bearing?

Bruce,

Sorry for not giving you the inch equivalent on the first post. .8mm = .0315 inch.

porsche's max of .8 mm = .0315 inches if my math is correct......1 inch = 25.4mm / 1mm = .0394 in. later....MAX
