A few months ago, Hot VWs magazine did an article regarding identifying authentic German Fuch wheels.

I had this pop up today. Someone I know has a set of 14 inch polished fuchs they want to sell so I went to check them out to try to put a value on them. They have no porsche part # on the back. The have an 'R' outside the hub inside the wheel. They have 'as21' (i think, probably the alum content) and a number (5 digis) on a spoke (inside). I didnt think that 14's were repoped though. They are 14 x 5.5. (this is on a spoke inside too) Whoever polished them was fairly brutal taking off the coating off the spokes, which striked me as not likely on a fake but I know the coating on og wheels is on there. So are these real wheels with no 9xx #? or fakies? They have been sitting in a closet for about 10 years so arent recent copies, if they are. Thanks for any insight.
