Post Fuchs

I just bought a non-running 1984 94 and found that it has Fuchs 15" forged rims. Are these valuable or sought after??? I love the look of the suckers!

they should be 7" front and 8" rear, they're very nice, and reasonably sought after. i'm looking for a single 7" for a set i want to put on my car, but nobody's cooperating with me and i've got 3 good wheels sitting here with nothing to do! our 83 has em and they're really nice looking i'm looking forward to having them on my 84! well the search continues, good find! what kinda shape is the car in?

Valuable-yes, sought after- sort of. 16" Fuchs are more desirable and highly sought after (especially 951 Fuch's). If they are in real good shape they're worth around $400-$500. You won't find a lighter wheel than Fuch's without paying megabucks.

ERAU: I have someone that wants my single 7" fuch (I had a full set with one bent 7"), but they haven't sent a check yet, so I'm not sure if it's going to work out. I was asking $100 + shipping for it. I'll let you know if the deal falls through, if you're interested email me, jleblanc@real.com

I am not sure.. It was the work of the PO. I want to get a front splitter... when I get around to it. Who makes the best ones?

From what I've heard around here, AIR splitters are the best. Just watch out for curbs (or railroad ties)

thanks y'all - now I just have to figure out what to do on this car. It has an 8/10 body , 68,000 miles and is an automatic. It has leaks galore and hasn't been driven in years. But the prior owner took good care of it. ANy thoughts???

sell it to me so i can make a racecar out of it. we've got an engine and a tranny with 36k miles on em here waiting for a decent body to go into.

danger: i'd talked with you about this before, i got these fuchs for $100, thats the only reason i was able to get em, i really dont have much money to spend on another one as good as it sounds... i had one lined up for $20 but i havent heard from him in awhile and i couldnt get him to ship it for me id be willing to spend like upwards of around $75 if its in good shape and i wont have to mess with it much, the ones i got were really ratty but cleaned up nice. let me know what the deal is when you get around to it, thanks
