are 16" fuchs or porsche alloys considered germanlook wheels????????? and will 16x7's fit in the rear of an irs beetle? are there any modifications required? haw about 16x6 on front's??

Yes they are GermanLook wheels, that is what most GL's used originally I believe before the newer style wheels came out in 17 & 18 inch sizes.

I like them alot, especially polished they look great!

As far as fitment, 6's in the front should be no problem at all, niether should 7's in the rear.

Go look at Porsche Killer in the Feature article section on the main page..... HERE

As far as I know, 7x15" with ET 10 or 11mm will not fit unless you use widened rear-fenders. I have used a set of an old 911RS once that fit. But I don't know the ET anymore (getting old). I'm risking getting knee-capped by Porsche originalos for using these wheels on a bug

Take care,

Richie

thanks for your reply guys. i'll be able to test fit the wheels tomorrow, it good to know that i'd be able to call my car a GermanLooker after installing it. UUUUUUUUUU yehey!!!!!!!! here's a picture of my car now. ill update it after fiting the 16''s UUUUUUUU

Sorry, I was to quick with my answer. 16"x7 will fit under the rear without mods. Especially the ones from a 944.
These have a ET of 43mm (at least I think)

Cheers,

Richard

the wheels fit perfectly in my car. the rear wheels aligned with the fenders which is fine with me. i just want to change the rear tires, it's currently 205x55x16 on 16x7 alloys. tires looked like a mushroom, what other tires sizes could i use to have a bowed or square effect like the set-up in front. (195x50x16 on 16x7).

Hi Richie, the 7" wheels have 23.3mm offset. It's the 8" ones that have the 10mm ET, I think....

Have a good weekend ahead!

They have the same 23.3 offset, but the petals are curved different on the insides to clear the bigger 944 Turbo calipers.

Hmm, am I getting my numbers mixed up?

I have a set 6 and 7x16" laying around. I'll take a look.

Cheers,
Richard

Richie · #11 April 16th 2003, 16:55

And here are numbers:
6 x 16" ET 43 P# 911 361 020
7 x 16" ET 44 P# 911 361 020

I'm wondering what car they were mounted on. I thought a 944 but the 911# says different.
Maybe somebody else knows?

Cheers,
Richard

Hello Richie,

Where did you get these numbers from? I'll try pull some numbers from my book when I get home later... At work now and hehe... I'm supposed to be working...

But have you noticed that the part no. for both wheels are the same? 911 361 020? Doesn't sound right to me....

Sprint.

Richie · #13 April 17th 2003, 03:33

Hi Sprint,
I'm at work also

! The numbers can be found at the backside of the wheels.
Yes, I did notice that the numbers are the same, but I didn't realize it until I wrote them here. There are more numbers and maybe they make the difference. I'll post the other numbers later.

Cheers,
Richard
