Never cared for 'em. Title: Re: History of the Fuchs wheel Post by: Felix/DFL on February 17, 2010, 22:17:09 pm That pic is so nice:
(http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/2FuchsMeeting.jpg) thank`s for the link&input! I heared the tale that the fuchs (and many other wheels designed for posrche) had to look even good when they rotate and not only when standing still. If you ever have seen a detailed fuchs on the motorway, you know what I am talking about and could 100% belive "the tale" After I saw the cutters in action I had to have them...
