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.

Number of downloads: 583Above is the wheel in painted steel, except it is 4.5"er. The "wheels" on the yellow car are closer. Except those look like VW bug trim rings. The chromes I believe to be "factory" have oval holes exactly like the standard steel wheels. My memory of the first year is that there were no aftermarket wheels for 914's and no option from Porsche except the chromes. The first aftermarket wheels available (by '71 for sure) were the Rivieras which were made for the VW and had a different offset than stock 914 wheels. |
