pros and cons for wheel sizes Options

[Gustl]

could you compare following original wheel sizes for me

165 HR 15 on 5.5x15 Steel
165 HR 15 on 5.5x15 Mahle 901.361.017.00
185 HR 14 on 5.5x14 Fuchs 901.361.016.10


I'd like to learn more about the pros and cons of those wheel types.
I posted this in the "Originality and History" forum, because I don't want all the comments like "why don't you take 225 on 7x16" and similar ...
I'm talking about factory options only

Gustl,
The Mahle wheels are, as I understand, the lightest and rarest of your choices. Some folks really like them, others don't care for their appearance.
The Fuchs are Porsche "classics", as nothing says 6 cylinder like those alloys. Virtually loved by everyone, they are, as you're well aware, commonly fitted in many sizes, on 914 varients. The 14" size, however, will provide you with an even narrower range of tire choices, I would think.
The steel wheels say "traditional, early period" Porsche. Together with small, discreet chrome hubcaps, they recall the 356 era and the adolescent years of the 911 and 912 series.
Of course, the 15" wheel selections will provide you, as stated before, with a slightly broader selection of tires to choose from. If the choice were mine, I'd go with what I liked, though any of your options would be correct.
