Are these fuchs?

I was worried they may be knock-offs, at least at the price they were at.
But, the consensus here appears that they are indeed real fuchs. I wouldn't put it past him to end early if they don't get the price he wants, but if he's done it more than once, then it's a violation of EBay policy *hint hint*.

Hi, I'm George.
Hi George...
And I have a wheel problem.
It's been 4 months since my last wheel purchase.

No kidding, eh?
I hope it wasn't because I posted the link here...
Looks like he tried selling them twice in the past for $499 US, and they didn't sell either time.

FYI, reproduction fuchs are not necessarily a bad thing. Unless you are purchasing them for a track car, I wouldn't worry about them. People say that they are hazardous because they are cast instead of forged, but if you inspect your wheels periodically (like you should) anyway, any cracks or issues would be apparent before a hazard develops. I have seen forged fuchs crack and break too. After all, we are talking about wheels that are at least 16 years old (the real ones, anyway).

I agree. If someone is worried about cast wheels being a problem, throw away 90+ percent of Porsche factory wheels including cookie cutters, phone dials, D90 wheels, and all the "cup" 5 spoke wheels.
