WTB: Fuchs for spare

[jedwards]

Looking for 1 only 15" x 4.5 or 15" x 5.5 Fuchs wheel for use as my spare tyre.
Repro is fine as I don't have date matched wheels anyway.
I'm in Perth, so would need seller to be prepared to help with postage.

Both of those rim sizes are pretty rare Jeff. A flat six would be your cheapest genuine option

I have a 15 x 4.5 Fuchs wheel but these are no longer cheap wheels. Havent decided on a price yet but might be high for use as just a spare.

I was in Perth a few days this last week and dropped by KTEC to see Brendan but alas, he was over in Germany visiting Technoclassica essen. I recently supplied him some seats for a project car .

I'd go repro if it is for a spare. The Flat-4 wheels in 4,5" and 5.5" are great options IMO. I have a set of 4.5" Flat-4's and they are very close to the genuine 4.5" I have (except the Flat-4 is polished, the OG wheel is anodized). I hear the 5.5" are very close to the original wheels as well.

I've used CIP1 for orders in the past and they are very prompt with delivery:

Otherwise, as mentioned above, FWIW a flat-6 OG wheel might be a good alternative.

Perfect wheel Cam, and just what I need. US$99 is an amazing price as well.

I usually don't mind delivery costs being high from people like Pelican and Sierra Madra, because I can get a bundle of stuff in the one package.

$162 to delivery a $99 wheel seems poor overall value. Does anyone know how to get them here cheaper?

[Nevada51]

Yep, wheels are expensive to ship from the US. That's probably comparable to the price of a flat 6? Not sure of the value of flat-6's.

For reference, here's some shots of an OG 4.5" and a Flat-4 4.5".
