Default 16X7 951 fuchs - buy or trade full polished??

As title indicates. Looking for a cheap set of 951 16X7" fuchs in US

Looking for a set for boneville - must be straight and true, but cosmetically challenged may be OK.



or maybe a single 16X7 951 fuch

only time I've ever heard "cheap" and "fuchs" used in the same sentance, it was usually followed by "amazing deal".

nah - not for 7" - everybody (911 guys) want the 8" and don't give a hoot about 7"

offsets are different for the 911 vs the 951, I really don't think you will find any of these cheap, regardless of how cosmetically damaged they are...

How funny - if mine were not full polished I would sell them cheap.

we'll see I guess...... in that case maybe I should trade my full polished virgin 16X7 set.......

guess we'll see

7" 951 Fuchs are still not going to be as cheap as 7x16 911 Fuchs, sorry. You'd be better off sourcing the whole set of phonedials above. For what you want them for the slight weight increase really would not be a disadvantage anyway.................

So ryanm6100???

details on phone dials?
- early offset (86)?
- condition?
- sizes (assume 7" front 8" rear)?
- tires - model / size / age / tread remaining ?
_______________________________________________________

Details on the 16X7 fuchs
no curb rash
no damage of any kind
polish could use a light freshen up polish - otherwise exceptional condition.
Tires are new (650 miles) khumo MX 205/55/16

To give you some idea:
Refinish costs to refinish and polish original anodized/painted wheel to this level is around $350-$400 for pair
Tires were $225ish with mount/balance/tire disposal, etc.
- don't know what resale value is, but to give you an idea of investment


Entertaining trade offers. 4 wheels (skinny preferred) with good used speed rated TREADED tires (not race tires)

Details:

- early offset
- curb rash on 1 wheel (rear) from PO
- some small blemishes on the others, mostly minor (pics if seriously interested)
- I believe 7 front 8 rear
- Yokohama AVS ES100 - 205/55ZR16 90W Front/ 225/50ZR16 92W Rear

Tires were on car when I bought it, PO rarely drove it for the year or two he owned it.
I'd guess they're 2 years old or so. Still very good condition. Maybe 50-65% tread remaining average. (maybe more?)

Are your fuchs early offset as well?

Let me know if interested. Maybe we can work something out.
