Will trade everything for a set of Original wide 5 Fuchs

As in original American Eagle (i think made em?) Ones? Porshe never produced a alloys in wide five....

[WESTY69]

Yes thankyou for the clarification , I say Porsche because that's generally what they were on. Just wasn't looking for the cheap , irregular , product knock offs

The ones you are talking about are just that .....cheap heavy and just my opinion look cheesy?
I noticed somewhere recently empi redid some of that style in wide 5 that looked much better at a glance. Might have been one of cip's 1000 emails that I saw them on?

Yah , definitely not the CIP ones , these are what I'm after , if sine one has them sitting around and wants to take all this bug stuff in trade , lets do it I'm doubt the trade because my best friend is looking for a set , so it's a win win for everyone

[WESTY69]

Pardon my spelling , my auto spell check hates me

[notchback]

So which wheel do you want??? Wide five fuch style wheel. Or Porsche pattern fuch. The pic you have is a early 4.5 Porsche pattern fuch. They cost about 1500.00 each for real ones or you can buy repros

[WESTY69]

Wide 5 Fuch style wheel , definitely not the real ones but the closet ones to it . Why do you have a set Bruce ?

[WESTY69]

You can email me pics to VWWESTY69@hotmail.com then I will show my buddy and if he say yes then he'll yah lets do it

[70's Looker]

i think what they are trying to say is,

porsche bolt pattren is 5x130 (those are the wheels in your photo)
vw pattren is 5x205 i seem to recall (this is where the "wide 5" term comes from)

in the mid 90's some company made a poor attempt at "fuchs" style wheels in the 5x205 sizes, like josh said heavy and ugly as sin, but lately some people seem to think they are looking cool, prices haven't got to the "cool guy" sizes.

to run the wheels in your photo, takes some changes to your brake system. to have an original set of 4, no matter what width size, sadly i dont think someone will go for the trade.

the repop ones from flat4 are very nice, with some differenences to the original porsche wheel, but does them well imho.
you can get a set used for somehwere close to your trade options.

im sorry but im not going to look for photos of all said wheels, tis the season i just dont have time. but if you look around the interwebs you will get to see what im talking about, hopefully this helps clear things up, and eases your want list asks lol

[WESTY69]

Dude that's just awesome , the repop Flat 4 to fit a 63 bug without any modifications would suit me just fine , thank you for your input , tis is the season and thankyou guys for enlightening this inquiry . Now being said that , who has them and who wants to make a sweet trade . If my friend doesnt like them then I will run em on my split bus )

[josh]

       the flat4 ones aren't a direct bolt on! You will need to re drill your brakes if there is enough meat (I've never run 5×130 so I'm not sure) or run adapters? Adapters often push the wheels out too far and then have to narrow beam......so on and so forth. 

[WESTY69]

I have narrowed beams in my veedubs as well as my friend so doing it won't be a problem , I guess it's a matter at this point who has that look of a quality Fuch rim and who wants to make a trade , doing the rest will be on my end . I'm learning more and more about these veedubs that I absolutely love and if I can pass in projects at a fair price or trade , then in my world , it's all awesome . Plus the more peeps I get to know and meet is just priceless

[WESTY69]
