Hi there!..Im looking to buy some fuchs for our late Bay.
Im sure the owner is on here on AVD..Im just interested to know if they are Chromed EMPI 17x7 5x112 Fuchs and just some feedback on the fitment/clearance/tyre size etc. I cant afford Iozzio Fuchs so dont suggest them..lol.

I have 17x7 brms on my wife's kombi. Bought them off cip. Fit great, no scrubbing or rubbing. Tyres are 225/55/17'. It is lowered a little.

Cheers EMPI ...Now just wondering if the ones in the pic are chrome or polished..Dont really want to polish my fuchs everday but on the flipside is the chromework good on the EMPI fuchs?..was hoping for the owners feedback.

I've had the chrome Fuchs on my split panel for 4 yrs have pitted pretty bad but I don't wash them and its a daily driver never garaged
