Im in the market for 15 x6 911 fuchs wheels. I plan on buying a set at the pomona swap meet tomorrow. What offset should I be looking for? Where should I look for cracks? Where should i look for part number? am i missing anything?

Thanks guys

No. It just doesn't have a safety bead. Not a problem. I've run many a high speed course (Las Vegas) and many an autocross without them.

Look for the Porsche Part "Triangle" with the "P" in the middle. That and the part number will net you some "real" Fuchs. I highly doubt you'll find cracks on real Fuchs but there's an off chance.
