from WIKI -
Otto Fuchs KG, manufacturer of forged and extruded automotive parts – including their Fuchs light alloy wheels used by Porsche for their Porsche 911 and Porsche 944 automobiles (1967 - 1989) and the Mercedes Benz Bundt Cake wheels (1970 - 1985).
Ha - we have cookie cutters for Porsche and Bundt Cake for MB! I still like the Mahle "Gas Burners"

Sounds like you have a pair of 14" and 16"? Not a popular combo. Post them in pairs on the classifieds.
Fuchs are probably the most costly of the Porsche wheels. Look at the cookie cutters, phone dial and BBS wheels as alternatives. May need spacer to adjust in wheel wellls. You'll probably not want ones wider than 6 or 7" though.

That's a genuine Fuchs wheel.
There aren't any repros that quote the Fuchs numbers.

911.361.016.10 would be a 5.5x14.
Your 911.361.020 is a valid number but I don't have any listing for an 8. That is the number which will tell what wheel you have. Any chance you can post a photo of the part number? |

| Some have part number forged in them. Some have an ink stamp with the part number. |

You're right... I was thinking 4 bolt which is 914.
The 912 will have 5 bolt and 901 part number.
thanks

Glenn - I don't think 912 FUCHS will have 914 stamped in them --- more like 901.

There's a 914 part number on the backside. Real ones are forged and copies are cast.
