While I love Fuchs on 914s, and 15x6s are one of my favorites (great proportions), it's been bugging me that these aren't "correct" for a 914-6. So I've been debating going with 14" Fuchs or something different, but still correct for a 914-6.

These arrived today...

I like the look of the gas burners. Mine weighed 10.2 lbs. Nothing wrong with having more than one set of wheels to play with. I believe prices will only increase on all the favorite Porsche wheels so you can't go wrong sitting on a set or 2.

Correct wheels can be a fuzzy area. They can fall into the same area as "stock radio" and antenna. They were not installed at the factory but the dealer installed what the customer wanted. Lots of 911 updates were dealer installed per customer request.

> Correct wheels can be a fuzzy area.

Sort of, if we start the factory vs dealer debate. But for factory wheels and what appears on a COA, I think it's pretty clear that the only options for 914-6s were:

- steel wheels
- 14" fuchs wheels
- mahle gas burner wheels

Right?

I think wheel choice was a crap shoot, not an option , depended on the rest of the options, dictated by bean counters. Then at the dealer is a whole nother deal..
well documented OG -6

I think the Gas Burner is one of the best looking wheels on a Six. I badly want a set of for my Six but since I have a matching set of deep sixes I need to wait until my car is actually a car again before I search for Gas Burners….but I fully intend to have a set for it then.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) thats super light. Im a big fan of Fuchs, but thats just crazy. What size are the gas burners? also, random question, what do Fuchs weigh?

on topic: The car looks great, I love the simple white, but that Irish Green will look amazing!

Nice... I'm pretty sure these are the original fuel lines. One also didn't have a hose clamp - on the car end of the hose. Is that right? Perhaps the return line didn't require a clamp? That doesn't seem right to me, but it looks like this gas tank had never been removed.
