...So you've got a stock early 930 but it's got aftermarket cragar wheels and the PCA judges keep knocking points off. This purchase will not only win you those coveted PCA trophies but also add about 10gs to the resale value of your turbo....
^^^ This is why they fetch good money, especially if they have the correct date stamp and are finished with the correct paint and anodizing.
Otherwise just buy new from Fuchs for just under $4,000 a set and save yourself $2,500.
There’s a handful of folk who refinish these wheels correctly and these were done by one of them. The 9x16 wheels are rare and probably accounts for most of that value. The fronts are 7in not 8in, and yes they will fit the early offset 944’s just not the 1986 turbo.
Hi Mike
My 86 turbo came with Fuchs 7s and 8s so curious what makes this version not fit? Is it just the 9 inch rears?
9" 930 Fuchs definitely fit a 951. I had a good friend that had a set of original 930 rears on his 951 and 8" 951 Fuchs on the front. I think what he was saying is the 7" 930 Fuchs may not fit, but that is an assumption.
The funny thing about that car is the 9" Fuchs are probably more valuable than the entire car in the market today.

Reason is that the 7x16 wheels on sale here are 911 wheels not 951 wheels. They made a version of the 7x16 Fuchs to clear the Brembo brakes, they had a 951 part number. The 7x16 Fuchs with a 911 part number like these, won’t clear the brakes.

hm. I may be in trouble then. I bought some 911 Fuchs for my carrera GT project which has 951 brakes

Ahhh OK. I think read this before somewhere but it didn't mean anything to me then.
