Fuchs Alloys

Post by Hendrik Moulds »

A very good friend of mine has a set of four Fuchs Alloy wheels.
They are 14 inch, 6 inch rim width, in fair condition, one has a kerbing scrape. The wheels are fitted with michelin 185, 70 tyres with 6mm plus of tread, but I don't know the age. Three of the wheels have the "porsche" script centre cap, one was missing when the car was delivered.
I have no idea of what they are worth and wondered if anyone could give me any idea. I have asked for some photos from him as well.

Not sure 6x14 were ever actually made!

Maybe 5.5" unless they are replicas?

If they are genuine I reckon £400-500+

I tend to think unless the tyres are proper brand new/recent and have receipts to prove then they are worth nothing but scrap as you don't know their history or age.

I sold a set of 4 5.5x14 complete with caps and used tyres showing recent receipts for £450. This was nearly 6-7 years ago and the rims where in good condition with little marks and good original paint with polished petals and rim.

Yes, they are probably 5.5"
My friend wants to sell them so will get some pics and post in the for sale.
