Today I had a quick look at the wheels I have in storage that came on my car when I bought it 34 years ago. I was in a rush but tried to see if there were any markings on them. I thought I'd see an ET code or something like that but I didn't see anything. It's possible some markings will appear after I wash them off but I didn't have time for that and didn't feel anything by checking with my fingers. Based on the pics below, is it possible to tell if they are 914 wheels (rather than wheels from some other VW)?

Thanks, guys. I’ll need to get them straightened, and then will media blast followed by Wurth silver and clear. Funny you mention the hub caps; they didn’t come with the wheels when I bought the car. I know they are like the VW ones but without the logo. Where’s best place to get replacements (I’m guessing that buying new condition-if available-will be less expensive than buying used and getting them rechromed)?

I think the hubcaps are from an earlier 914, but bought them from eBay a few years back. |
