Re: Original Fuchs on 356 A or B with drum brakes
I got lots of crap. I need some crap adapters!
I don't like Fuchs for how they look, I like Fuchs for what they are. It's an intellectual geeky type of thing. Physics and all that. What ho! It gives you something to talk about at car shows besides whether the 904 is real or not.

What they are is light. The 6" Fuchs is one pound lighter than the cast MAGNESIUM Minilites on my old E-Prod car.

Re: Original Fuchs on 356 A or B with drum brakes
Here is a set of Eagle Alloys on Blackie from a couple of years ago. They are the wide bolt pattern that I used on the drums until I got bored with them. They are 5 1/2 X 15 with the correct offset. No fitment problems. Everyone thought I converted to disc brakes until they got up close. The center caps were done on a CNC machine, capped with a hub cap crest and cost me more than the rims... KTF

Re: Original Fuchs on 356 A or B with drum brakes
You can always order the good adapters from 356 Specialties. They are machined from a chunk of billett aluminium. For what it's worth, I ran a set on my 63' B with 6"Fuchs and loved them.
