HEy there, I have a question about the original streel wheels sold with the 914 pre '74.
For the later mag look I know that the backspacing number is ET40; ET40 = 914; Anything else is VW specific - I think for a standard VW wheel it would be ET26 but I haven't been able to totally confirm it. I'm about ready to just start looking at them parked on the street (so many around here...) to see. I'll let you know, but that's what I'm looking at so far for info. If anyone has the EARLY steel wheels that are not the mag look I would be interested to know what the ET number is on them or what the backspacing is. Thanks! |

Mike,
I had a set of the steel wheels on my '75. I sold them when I went to 6X16s all around. Wish now I had checked the ET. I suspect the super beetle and 914 wheels were the same style, but different offsets. If you get the P/N, let me know and I'll add it to my list. |
