Actually.... I didn't buy the FUCHs. I'd also like to add an original steering wheel...

The fuchs are offered at 800$. 2 of the 4 are polished. Is this a fair price?

In pretty descent shape. Checks the brakes. Tune up the engine. Checks the electrical. Change the engine and transmission oil. Congrats nd welcome to the Samba buddy.

They look like original flat 6's. You can verify by looking on the back side, there are part #'s. 901 361 XXX XX would be early, very desireable. A part # starting with 911 XXX XXX XX are late and what I would expect to see. And yes, well worth the $$.
Search Fuchs in the classifieds or peruse the "Fuchs" thread in the stickies of the Tire and Wheel Forum.
