Model history Wheel tour through time

The classic FUCHSFELGE was the first forged wheel - and thus the foundation stone for a great history. At the same time, other manufacturers were and still are convinced of the qualities of the FUCHSFELGE. Here you can see a brief overview of the model history of our FUCHSFELGE.
