Or you could sell them.
Seems like they were supposedly made for the 914, but they don't have the right offset.

They were made for the 914, Tom was selling on the "Club" back in 2004. Eliott, Slits & others bought them. Revolution has since pulled out of the US. I have the Guy in England that I just sold the HSR 914 to, looking into it and trying to contact Revolution UK

What about having the inside of the rim machined down about 1.5"?

I guess I am not understanding the issue here. If you have 2 identical looking rims, a 7" and 8", and only the 7" one fits, and this is for a street car with street tires, then just put the 7" rims on the damn thing and be done with it.

Is there s a spacer in there or are my eyes deceiving me?
if not, it really doesn't have enough meat to shave down? Looks like a bunch

completely OT...you going to Daytona for the 24??




No Spacer ( there is a lip on the wheel that makes it look that way) and you can see by looking thru the Lug Holes, there isn't much to save.

Daytona, probably not

Good New & Bad News - I've been in Contact with Revolution UK

Bad News (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) - they don't make my wheel anymore, so I'll keep searching for a pair of 7s

Good News (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) - they told me they are coming out with new Wheels for a 914 4 Bolt pattern in 16 & 17 Diameters - I'll keep you updated

Can't you just cut about an inch out of the half shafts, weld them back together and have enough room? I got a sawzall and a welder. Bring it over Saturday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
