Need Help with a Fuchs Wheel!!!

While shifting into 2nd in a spirited fashion, the tail of my carrera kicked out and dinged a curb. Anyone know who would be the best to fix this???

Unfortunately, that looks far beyond FIXING.

I usually have had good luck with KEYSTONE, regarding repairing, refinishing, or purchasing new/used wheels.

I'm pretty sure that didn't come off of a Carrera, no waythey would fit unless you have a seriously flared 934 style body..and with slicks I am pretty sure you weren't on the street with it. How about the valve stem or lack there of?

As far as repair...Harvey Weidman, Al Reed...if they can't do it...it can't be done.

Who makes the outers or barrels? It seems that this is a two or three piece wheel...maybe you could contact the manufacturer and get a replacement barrel...unless, as it appears to be a 15", they no longer make the barrels/outer-inners.

You caught it, it is really a 14X19 BBS 935 wheel that I put a Fuchs center in and it wouldn't fit my early turbo body 911 much less my stock Carrera And those 19" rim 1/2s are NLA, so I was building a coffee table and couldn't resist a bit of fun Yes, they were off a real 935
