We all know the Fuchs look great but, aside from the Cookie cutters, Teledials and other traditional Porsche wheels, what look do you like on a 914?

Personally I'd love to see something like a Volk TE37 or OZ Superleggera's on 914.

ATS classics,hands down, I'm fruity for them

I like my marathon beetle wheels.

Posted by: a few loose screws Dec 11 2014, 10:38 AM

Minilite, or any reasonably hand drawn 8 spoke facsimile. empi gt-8's look good.
8 spoke wheels look awesome on everything. Instant race car.



hot wheels....on hot wheels.

Minilites or Empis. By far the most tasteful and classic for these cars.

Posted by: Mueller Dec 11 2014, 10:50 AM

^ditto on the Minilites or real Panasports....

One of my old 914's, I redrilled it for a Honda bolt pattern,
16x7 Konig wheels.

Oh, my second favourite thing to support a 914....also made in Britain, light weight cast aluminium, high performance, awesome looks! Everything you could ask for!........ from a sweet set of jack stands.

Cragars - but I am an old hot rodder!

Empi Sprintstars...I have a set for the 914 that I'd like to sell.
I really liked them, to me they look like the German iron cross, but I'm going 5 bolt.

Its time for a Revolution baby

Posted by: mbseto Dec 11 2014, 12:37 PM

Sweet! I have those on my 914. Was never sure what they were exactly, but I like them...

Posted by: falcor75 Dec 11 2014, 01:05 PM

Myself I have a set of 15x7 cookiecutters, almost full set of 3 15x7 Fuchs and I've got my eyes on a set of 15x7 BBS crosspokes...but I'm feeling I'd like something more modern perhaps....and ditto on the Minilites....

For a 4 lug wheel I have always been a fan of the revolutions! I even had the chance to buy Elliot's when he went 5-lug. Had to pass as I don't have a 914 that is 4 lug anymore

Posted by: Gustl Dec 11 2014, 01:17 PM

I had EMPI 8-spoke on my 1.8

My Favorite...

ATS Klassik 7x15

Posted by: Mueller Dec 11 2014, 01:35 PM

Another vote for Revolutions....

My last 914 before I sold everything 914 related....

Posted by: OllieG Dec 11 2014, 02:41 PM

This is what I'm going to use on my car…Campagnolos. You can get modern repros from a company here in the UK (Group 4).. I love 'em. You see them on a few 911s but not so much on 914s. The blue 930 below is a Magnus Walker car I believe..

....Revolution's are my fav also!...on a 914 that is

Posted by: rgalla9146 Dec 11 2014, 05:49 PM

Eric you have impeccable taste. (shameless self compliment)
Minilite (real mag wheels) are the utimate.
Empis are attractive stepchildren.
ATS ?..... YES! the perfect angular, spare, all business compliment to 914 style.

First triple post.

I'm still looking for another Set - Benjamins are ready!

Posted by: rick 918-S Dec 12 2014, 08:00 AM

Enkei 92's with black centers. They are one of the lightest aftermarket wheels.

Posted by: RobW Dec 12 2014, 08:46 AM

I like the classic Fuch 4 and 5 lug... anyway.

Posted by: RobW Dec 12 2014, 08:49 AM

Liked this though... not on a "normal" 914..

Some nice wheels fellas. ..

Vintage revolution 15x7

Posted by: sfrenck Dec 12 2014, 11:03 AM

Couldn't find any Enkei's so I ended up with another of the "lightest aftermarket wheels" - ARE Lemans. I think they are also in the 13 lb range.

I know the Revs are popular, but I still can't get past the fact that it looks like a different era that doesn't mix. It's a 70s car. Pasting bling from another decade doesn't look right to me.

The Fuchs, Mahles, cookies, minilites, (and variations) all look right. Just don't get too blingy or it looks wrong. Like your grandma with lipstick and high heels.

Posted by: Millerwelds Dec 12 2014, 02:59 PM

Superlights (which are NOT super light by the way)

too.

The only wheels I like are Fuchs 4 and 5 lug, and a few other stock wheels. Anything else doesn't look right to me...

Posted by: sixnotfour Dec 12 2014, 07:38 PM

Witch Rev's there is 3 dif. styles Or all of them....

Posted by: Rand Dec 12 2014, 08:08 PM

Jeff. See the Rev pics above. I love your taste in wheels, so show us some Revs that look right! ;P

Posted by: JmuRiz Dec 12 2014, 09:11 PM

I didn't realize those were not stock ones. Where's you get em?

5x5.5 and I added an inch to the outside,, a lot of sanding to make look more OG

Posted by: computers4kids Dec 13 2014, 05:27 PM

I think there's a lot of wheels that look great, as long as there not 17 or larger on a slim body 914s. In my opinion the larger wheels just don't look right. But hey, as long as the owner likes them--that's all that matters.

Posted by: 7TPorsh Dec 15 2014, 11:41 AM

My car originally had Dan Gurney Indys. I think there were around 12 pounds each.

Really liking the Minilite look and the Campys.

Where are these for sale in 15x6? I like the Empis too but they a little different and remind be of a Super Bug.
