| It's too bad all the Hot Wheels cars came with Fuchs. Kind of saturated the market. | |

| ok, so they are all 5.5 x 15, and have pretty good 185 70's on them. two of them have a little curb rash but not that bad. would be great on a driver. the back grounds have been painted yellow but should not be hard to strip off. the alum. shines good. a little bit of work and they would look great. Ihave all the lug nuts and 2 center caps. they also have the correct part # and vw stamp so from what I can tell they are the actual fuchs. anyway, I am thinking $400. please give me a call if you are interested. I can't upload a photo but I could send you a couple over the phone. thanks, Pat. 916 761 2622 | |

| These are the less common 4 lug/4 spoke wheels. I'm still really surprised that they have VW stamped on them. Here ya go....  | |

| Greg thinking he could make the score of a life time  The market isn't really that great for 4-lug fuchs, but your price seems fair | |

| cool wheels, need to be on a vw, not on the garage floor. they are forged, and weigh 13 lbs. kinda neat. | |

| 2 litre fuchs from a '73 or later 914, the part numbers match and the vw stamp is accurate. They have a favorable 40mm offset for the late 4x130 bolt pattern. Nice for stuffing wide tires under Ghia fenders. Why else would I know this... Good price, too bad they are not red...  | |
