It ocurs to me that we've forgotten the various combination of wheel offered by the factory for 914's.
I see to recollect (VERY dangerous) that there were: Steel - four versions (maybe 5) Alloy - five versions I know there were different widths available in some, but I'm talking about design. I'll start - these are 5 1/2J steel wheels from an early car with appearance group. Yes, they've been rstored & no, they do not have the proper flat black center spray around the lugs.

My manual, in the technical data section, specifies 165 HR 15 with 5.5Jx15 wheels only. The tire pictured in the "changing a tire" section is clearly a Dunlop "dogbone" but I'm pretty sure other brands were fitted.
The tag in the engine compartment is another matter. It makes no mention of speed rating, even for the 911S. 912/911T&E Standard 165R15, Optional 185R15 or 185R14 911T&E "Comfort" Standard 185R14, Optional 185R15 or 165R15 911S Standard 185R15, Optional 165R15 |
