What size wheels are these?
Okay, I have not had the time to pull the wheels on my 3 month old 87 targa and find out what size they were, so I am hoping the more knowledgeable will know on site.
My first assumption was that these were the 6x15 and 7x15 standard fuchs. But, someone else told me they were actually 7x15 and 8x15's off of a turbo from an ealier year.
What do you think?

Michael,
If that's a Porsche valve stem support, those are at least 7" rims, as the valve stem support won't fit on 6" rims. Your right, in order to know for sure, take the wheel off...it says right on the back what the size is.

That is a 15x8 fuchs wheel. In the front you have 15x7. Those wheels came on some carreras as an option instead of the dials or the 16x6 front and 16x7 rear fuchs. I can easily tell by the size of the lip.
