I'm looking at my car lately and thinking i might keep the gt style steels that are currently rolling the shell around.

I have a set of riviera alloys and both types need restoring. I'm just not sure which to go for.

What 4 lug wheels are you running? Any pics for ideas?

What year is your 914? I would try and find a stock alloy wheel for your 914.

It's 1974 model but as it was stripped to near bate shell before i bought it keeping it original would be too expensive and quite a bit of hassle. There are few spares over here for it. When all charges are taken into account when buying from usa, the cost soon starts to spiral.

I like the Riviera alloys I partially restored. Personally I like the Centerline rims on the 914.

sport steelies, though less unsprung weight is touted to be better. for highway driving, they are fine.

I have a set of rusted out steelies I will give to anyone in Colorado Springs area wishing to pick them up locally. No shipping, they need alot of restoration but free.
