Don't worry, paranoia was short lived by realising how cold it is in the garage and was soon followed by a bunch of can't be arsed and a mug of tea with a kitkat.

Apologies for adding to the thread hijack
Nige - my comments relate specifically to experience with 15in Fuchs - don't know if the problems affect 16in wheels as well ...

Unlike flat sixes, the deep sixes have reinforcements (rib) on the inside where the petals meet the rim. I agree that polishing around the rough edges will help.
What are the post-74 Fuchs like? Are they stronger/safer than '72/73 versions?

4 fingers, but they're Lidl knockoffs. KatAttakk or something?

TBH, I haven't heard of cracking issues on 16s other than from impact damage.Lightweight_911 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 10:01 amApologies for adding to the thread hijack

I've just had alook at their website. Apparently, they only have 7", not 6" so can't buy a full set.

Yes, Current plan is for a set on the back only.IanM wrote:I've just had alook at their website. Apparently, they only have 7", not 6" so can't buy a full set.

Might look a bit odd with flat 6 on the front, but I can always try them on the front as well (with the right spacer) and go for the 7” all round look! But that’s not my preference at the moment.

I'm afraid I don't know - I sold them three or more years ago.

Hi
You guys might be interested to know that Pirelli have just made a fresh batch of these.

The other important Porsche 15" P7 sizes are also on the shelf.

Gary,
I recently found out that there's another wheel brand called Maxilite. Have you heard of them? Link:

Unlike Group 4, they also make 6x15.
