Anyone know what the size/offset of the stock rims are? I'm thinking of going a different direction than the stock rims for my 73, but i'm not going to do a 5-bolt conversion this year.
So I'm looking for a 4-bolt current production rim that'll fit my car. Any advise? |

I did alot (I mean alot) of looking into this issue as well because I had a specific look I was going for, too. Unfortunately, the offset and bolt spacing issues are so unique to the 914 (and early Bugs) that there are virtually no rims that fit 914's other than the ones you've probably heard of (aftermarket stuff). I also looked into spacers with new lugs and re-drilling rotors, but there are so many other issues (safety being the main one) that I finally decided to go with the Revolutions. I'm happy I did because they fit perfectly, look nice, I didn't have to go to a 5-lug set-up, and I was able to upgrade my tires very easily.
There might have been something that I missed, and perhaps another member will have an idea, but I'm pretty sure I did my homework on this one. Here's a pic of a 914 with 17" Revolution RZX wheels on it. This is the one that sold me. Attached image(s)
