Post white fuchs wheels

I was wondering if anyone knows if the white fuchs rims came special as a lightweight option, and if so what is the weight difference to the C2s?

Welcome sdriver. The white fuchs weigh about the same as the black ones which were the standard factory option and a lighter wheel. Fuchs were only available in 1986 951 due to the offset. Most white ones were resprayed or came off later cars, though may have been available in an "exclusive' program. For weights check www.wheelweight.net , all the above wheels plus many others, very useful

"I have white Fuchs--they came OEM on the car."

Really? The invoice on my car showed that the Fuchs was an option that was added. Anyway, I had white Fuchs that came on my '86 Alpine White 951. ISomewhere along the line, someone polished the rims:

My 85.5 had them as a factory option. It was on the option code sticker in the hatch. I believe it was option code #390--Forged Alloy Wheels/Grand Prix White
