I'm looking for something a little different than the standard 914-6 flares we see. They do look good, but are there other options that are more unique?

Finding flares that flows with the 914 lines is hard. Personally I think the GT flares look a bit too much like fenders of a US dually pick up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I agree, the biggest reason they are so widely used and accepted, is because they are factory design with a racing heritage. that and they do have a fairly good proportion that suits the rest of the body.

I do like the flares jim kelly posted. They are awesome but IMO slightly over the top for street use, but perfect for track use (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Not that they're much of a flare, but I get 225's on 8" rim under them.

Awesome! What tire profile and wheel diameter on those 225s? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

225/45-15 Hoosiers on 15x8 wheels with 4-7/8" backspacing.

Only very minor rubbing at full lock or full suspension load.

I have, in my imaginary plan to finish the car, an idea to go to 15x10's and run the big ol' 275's. But the reality of the project says "HA!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) , and I think that I'll be on 225's for a while once (if) I get it running again.

I'm running 225s front and 275s rear. You can make em fit with 9 inch fenders but its tight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
