Ive had them on my car since last summer and they grip but I havnt pushed them at the track. Also I havnt drove the car in a real bad rain but it seems to stick pretty good

Yes old school all right. Nice! Really deep dish too. Do you have an '86? The tyres look quite high profile but maybe it's the angle and I did read they were 45 profile which if you think of when these wheels were first available there was no such thing as a 45 aspect ratio. Post a photo or two when you get them on the car.

Patrick, they're only 16" wheels man! Anything is going to look huge next to your 18s.

Lindsey Racing is using fuchs centers and makes 17 or 18 inch wheels from them. A lot of the older car owners are doing this for better tire selection.

Hey they look nice and I reckon those 17's or 18's would look really good on certain cars. I think there's a company in England that takes 3.0 SC's and creates a sort of retro replica RS look but a bit FATTER. They look great in my books and those Lindsey converted Fuchs would suit them down to the ground. (pun intended)

Very nice... That is what I want to do to my Fuchs... How much did you pay for the finishing?

I never did post the before pic- total finishing costs are unknown at this time ... cough cough cough...... uhhh yeah I have not paid the bill as he is final polishing my 8" and will settle up then. ballpark is $400 for 9s

Those are gorgeous. Well worth the $$$ of having a pro do the job.
Especially when it comes to polishing!

tommo951

any ideas who does the replica RS in UK? You have my attention now!

Gorgeous wheels.

Yes Thommo I'll check my magazines. I may have got my wires crossed so I'll come back and confirm just who does what and where.

EDIT: Here you go Thommo. http://www.psautoart.com/
Don't know about anyone else but I like them!

Very nice and the best thing is, they weigh about 2 lbs :-)

333pg333

Wow, really 2lbs. That's light! lol

2bridges

not really - more like 2.5

oka, okay 17lbs 4 ounces - for 9" wide forged wheel. Gotta love forged wheels - light and strong
will weigh the 8" once back from polish

I hate to bring this up, but I know someone who bought 3 pairs of used 9" Fuchs before he had 2 wheels that weren't cracked. It seems these wheels are often run quite hard, harder than your average 6" or 7" Fuchs. I assume when you had them refinished they probably checked them for cracks?

They looks fantastic, though. For me, that's the ultimate look for an early-offset 944!
