DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Sorry no photos but I've located a set of Fuchs wheels, they are 7 and 9 by16's, 930 I suppose, the rims are fairly good, no chunks out of them with just average rubber. So how much should I offer? Obviously I want them but I don't want to fund the guy's retirement.

Be interested to see what people think, as according to some auction sites you could need to spend around £4,000...

I'll suggest £1,500 / £2,000 requiring refurbishment, up to +/-£2,500 in good condition?

I sold a set this time last year. If I remember, I sold them for £1900. The guy who bought them from me bought them to flip (found out after, he originally gave me the poor mans story that his project was running over budget ). I left a few quid on the table, he has been trying to flip them for the last 12 months for £4k.

They were probably worth about £2200 or so. Problem with fuchs is the refurbishment costs, so if paying more than low £2's they need to be in really nice shape.

The front 7's are easy enough to come by - around £350 each or so. It's the 9's that dont come up that often.

New prices are £726+vat for the 7" and £770+vat for the 9"

So for £3K + vat you get brand new wheels, to refurb those correctly your looking at £1K so £1500 is about all they are worth

Ebay dreamers want more for used stuff than for brand new!

Graham, knowing your a hands on type of guy, we could refurb 4 wheels for 500 quid. Details Friday.

Bugger! flashed the wad, but it wasn't enuff, thanks to fleebay he actually did want me to fund his pension. I didn't really want them anyway, so there!

Ha ha, got 'em, anybody want the 9's? The 7's are going on my 356.

How much?

Although the 7's are OK ish, the 9's look like they have done a few extra laps and are a bit scabby so I'll give them the full on refurbishment before I put them up for sale.

We now have the correct Pirelli P7 tyres for those wheel https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/pirell ... to-p7.html
