Fake Fuchs from Cip1, got a set, reporting Options

[Literati914]

Hey guys, I bought a set of fully polished 5-lug fake fuchs from Cip1 and they came in today (was super fast, free shipping, no tax, & on sale !!).. I got 4 for $478 all in, and it's the best value I've spent money on lately for anything. I just wanted to give you guys an honest assessment. Gotta say, I'm impressed - they look great IMHO. I got the fully polished 15x6s. I can report on a couple of items that the website was unclear on or didn't detail and that I was curious about...

First - are they "deep six" or "Flat"? Remember both types of original 15x6 Fuchs came with a 36mm offset (BTW, these have a 35mm offset and a backspacing of 4-13/16)... the difference between original deep six and flats was actually the "dish depth" of the outer lip (deep six lip measuring 42mm, while flats measured 20mm). Ok - so these are definitely "Deep Six" style, with the lip measuring at least 42mm, maybe 45mm depending on where you judge the lip to turn out at.

Secondly - Do they have hearts or not? Cip1s pics show no heart at the valve stem area.. but I did come across a pic on another forum of the painted version from them, with a heart shape at the valve stem area. That's weird but I also notice that they're using the same pictures for other sizes etc. Anyway I'd like to confirm that my set definitely DO HAVE hearts, if that feature is preferred by any one.

Weight.. Cip does not give a weight and I'm going to try to get mine on a scale tomorrow (will report back) but they do not feel heavy, I'm guessing 14.5lbs or so.

Valve Stems.. the website does not mention them specifically but does say hardware and caps sold separately. None of the pictures include stem - but YES they are included. They have a removable chrome sleeve - I'll be keeping it off.

Just thought I'd report.. no affiliation, just a happy customer. I think the sale ends this week if anyone's in the market for a cheap alternative to real Fuchs.
