I've searched the threads related to Fuchs wheels but cant find any reference to these replica wheels. Does anyone have knowledge of them?

Not sure about those Chester, but the Braid replicas are OK.
If you do google search on the Pelican Forum there are quite few reports, e.g.,:http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...se-wheels.htmlLast edited by Merv; 02-01-16, 08:39 PM.

Hi Chris,
I believe quite a few people on Pelican have used Fiske wheels and I also think that Singer have used them on their cars.
Cheers,
Harry.Last edited by Terminator; 04-01-16, 08:09 AM.

I don't like to hijack threads, but I will on this occasion because no-one seems to have looked at it in a while...
Is there any sage advice on cheap (e.g. EMPI) fuchs replicas Vs OE Steel wheels?
From a budget perspective, I like the fuchs look on the 912, but can appreciate the OE steel wheels for originality. Push comes to shove, I think I would go with EMPI fuchs (currently have some cheap replicas that aren't worth cleaning up), but I really don't want to throw good money after bad.
On that note too - would anyone want some cheap replica fuchs? Maybe as wheels for a rolling chassis?

Thanks
I just bought some p's and c's out of the US, $3250 USD I think with shipping, exchange and tax they will cost me about $5500 AUD.
I got a small discount paying by wire transfer, slightly better exchange rate thru the bank rather than Paypal, the vendor RMEuropean uses USPS, 2 options with that, I've never had an issue with USPS, some people wont go near them ?
under $1000 AUD just pay by Paypal and ship USPS and it will probably not attract the attention of Customs.
more than $10K AUD and I think you need to start considering using OZFOREX or the like, pretty sure that's what Phil has recommended
previously.

Hi,
I'm looking for a sensible alternative to the unaffordable original RSR 9" & 11" Fuchs' for my RSR replica project. I can't justify spending ~$15K on the originals, especially since they are over 40 years old, which to me seems a bit of a safety concern as well.
I've seen both Maxilite and Braid BZ have alternatives that have the correct offset.
It looks as if these all are semi-forged (two parts welded) and the Braid ones seem to have a slightly different lip, and both can be ordered in the correct RSR finish, so that looks promising.
Does someone here have experience with either of them?
Paul, did you buy the Braid BZ ones in the end?
Clyde, what did you use for the ST?

I've seen some of the Braid BZ's on a 2.8RSR replica up here in Sydney.
With TB15's mounted they really look the goods.
The owner of the car is very particular, did his research, and is very happy with the wheels.Justin Reed
