My old Porsche 912 project car has rather nice Fuchs wheels on 
it.  Someone came by (heard about it via grapevine) and wanted to buy 
the Porsche.   Not so sure I wanna rid myself of it...  anyway, I 
thought about those wheels, checked Ebay to see the going rate for 
what good-used Fuchs wheels might be worth.


Yikes!


The Porsche resale value just got revised...   although I still have 
TOO many projects, need to maybe thin the fleet if I had any sense.



I really wish those Fuchs wheels fit a late model 'Vair.   5.118" 
bolt circle, forget it.
