What are 15x7 and 15x8 Fuchs wheels worth?
I am thinking about selling a set of 15x7 and 15x8 Fuchs wheels but am not sure what to price them at. They will also come with tires that are 215/60/15 but one of them will probably need to be replaced. They aren't high quality tires. Roadhugger Radial GT-D
The 2 rear wheels have a little curb rash and the paint is kind of dull but the rim half still has a nice finish. The front wheels are pretty clean with one of them having a small scratch on the outer rim half. Paint again is kind of dull. Overall I would rate them about a 7 out of 10.
Another option that I was thinking about was trading someone for 2 15x7's for my 2 15x8's and maybe some cash. What do you think?

What were the condition of your wheels that you sold on Ebay? That has alot to do with pricing. Thanks.
Am I safe to say $750 for the 4 wheels with tires and centercaps is a fair price?

Just get some spacers.... made out of antimatter....
If you want to make your Fuchs look better, at least for a nice picture for your ad, try applying Vaseline lotion to the black part of the wheel. It really works.

I forgot to mention that these wheels came off a 1985 Porsche 944 so it is the early offset. I test fitted these on my 1988 and it actually fits but there is a chance that the tires may rub my fenders unless I install lower profile tires on the wheels. The wheelset fits flush right out to the edge of the fenders on my late offset 944. I was thinking about keeping this set and use it for autocross but since my engine needs a rebuild, I think I need the money to pay for that so that is why I am considering selling these.

Going price is between $650 and $750 for a set of four - round and true non-concours condition. This is roughly what George at 944Ecology sells them for. If you're in the market he's a good starting place...faster and more dependable than Ebay crap shooting. George sold me four 15x8's two years ago for $750, very positive transaction. Wheels were as described, arrived in a timely fashion, well packed.

damn, not to hijack, but i sold four 16in phone dials for 405, with brand new tires... are the fuchs that much more desireable? or did i just let mine go really cheap?

IMO and from what I've seen the hierarchy of stock 944 wheels goes something like this:
Lowest
Cookie Cutters
Phone dials
turbo phone dials
15" fuchs
16" turbo fuchs
Highest
Prices range from pretty much nothing up to around $1000+ for a set of 951 16" fuchs

Well over 1000, no caps or tires.
You want something even better? How about late offset Fuchs? I read somewhere that Porsche only made like 104 of them (26 sets). I could be mistaken, but I do know a set of those wheels would be worth more than many members' cars.

Now this is just me, but with shiney new aftermarket 16x7 & 16x8 Fuchs lookalikes available for $230-$260.... why would one spend a similar amount for a 20+ year old 15" Fuchs?? But, this is just me....

The real fuchs are very light weight and strong. This applies to most replica wheels, they may but a good quality, but they are copying the design and not the weight.
