any pics of them on a early beetle?? im also trying to decide 15s or 17s.

Working on getting some pics of the wheels installed, I literally recieved the prototypes friday night at Nicks during the Classic weekend.

The prototypes are beefy at 22 LBS, but the production wheels should be in the upper teens when done, I hope around 17-18LBS. THere are areas we can shave weight and not sacrifice strength

The top one 17X7 polished/painted wheel is 38mm offset (for "most" link pin front with a 4" narrowed beam)
The second one 17X7 full polished wheel is 12mm offset (for "most" swing short axle rear)
The last one is a 17X10 that Schott Wheels threw together for me for the VW Classic. The offset of that wheel I'm not sure of but I can find out, definitely not a wheel you can just bolt onto a bug without suspension mods. But it sure looks bitchin!
Basically the offsets or these wheels are such that you build your suspension and we should be able to accomodate any offset between 12mm and 80mm or most widths you need, these are all custom built per your specs. You wont find another forged early Fuchs-style wheel this custom anywhere in the world. Thanks

Under stand the wheel back spacing is adjustable from +12 to +50mm so it can be made to fit your car. For the ultimate look, a 4" narrowed front end and short axles in the rear will set you up perfectly. But the wheels can still be installed with out it but the dimension and profile will not look as cool.

I am on the phone every day talking to clients about that specific thing. You can not gauge it with out knowing all the specific parts that are on the car.
Spindles, Disc Brakes, Adapters, Fenders, Front ends, if the car has been hit, if it has had a pan swap etc. You also can measure and we can figure it out for you.

Thanks for the insight. But I have a general idea of the set up I will be using. I already have a set of Billet Specialties Hustler wheels in 17x7 for the front and 17x8 for the rear. I still have to order a narrowed beam and complete disc brakes for the '55 these are going to be installed on. Oh, I also have a set of 2inch wider rear fenders installed, just in case you were wondering.

Since I planned this '55 build out already, I wanted these new 17 Fuchs style wheels for my '67 project. I forgot the specs of the backspacing for my hustler wheels. But wanted to use that as to figure out what will fit since my '67 will be basically running the same short axles as my '55 and I already have a set of those non Wilwood disc brakes offered by Airkewld a year or so ago. So one of these days I will ask for a quote for a complete disc brake system and narrowed beam for my '55 and a narrowed beam for my '67.



So back the the OP,
What are the sizes of the wheels and backspacing in the pic of the first post from top to bottom.

You say they're forged; how much does a 17x7 weigh?
Pretty cool, by the way!!! They would look good on my speedster.

agreed. quite expensive too!!!

I understand your point of view, I knew these were not going to be for everyone. When setting out to build these I felt same way, I got tired of seeing all of the cheap cast, incorrectly profiled crap. That is why I am building the wheels with such high standards and custom choices. With that comes increased manufacturing cost. When I finally go into production in a few weeks, I will have close to $30,000 into building this outstanding wheel. Unlike others building new products I have not asked for any upfront deposits and paid for everything on my own. Currently these are the only 17" early style "forged" Fuchs in the world. They are almost a mirror of the originals, so much so that you could run an original wheel on the front and these on the back! When I started this project I set out the build the best 17" early style forged Fuchs wheel available and we did just that. Comparing these to any other wheel is not comparing apples to apples. With that said I appreciate the nice comments about the wheels so far.
Thanks

Those are so sweet, I still have not decide if I like newer style rims on a vw, but those would look right a home. but you cant go wrong with Fuchs. Sometimes the newer style takes away from the car. I have not bought any rims yet( cant decide between newer style and fully polished Fuchs) after I get my pan finished ( air ride fully installed, pan sealed and painted, new bushings,brakes),if they are ready I will take a hard look at them.
