Mark Henry. I LOVE the look of the Sprint Stars on your 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I seem to remember a post where you mentioned that they had a different offset than standard EMPI-GTV Sprint Stars. Do you remember what the offset is for your particular set of wheels? I need a pair of non-negetive offset wheels for the back of my Beetle project.

I've got 3 sets in my collection. Unfortunately, not all of mine are worth using, and I don't think I have any (other than 4.5") that will fit a 914.

Thanks for posting them. Hope you don't mind if I add your pics to my 914 pic collection.

Yeh, Brad liked them as well.

I like the looks of them as well, but they are a steel wheel and a bit heavy. Also they have the factory original paint and I can see a couple of pin points of rust peaking through, so if I'm going to keep them I should refinish them soon.

This set was on the 914 when I bought it, I also have a couple of other (4 1/2" and 5 1/2") sets. If I ever get back to it I have almost all of the stuff needed to make myself a full-blown Empi GTV bug.

These rims stick out further than my other sets, I doubt if they would even fit under a stock bug fender. Right now I have 185/70-15 tires (PO) on it and they fit perfect, good clearance, 195's will also fit and 205's would be close but they might fit. My fenders have never been pulled or rolled. I have 2 sets of 2.0 Fuch's but I still haven't changed them. I may leave the stars on unless I go to the 5 bolt Fuch's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I can get you the offset if you like. I'm in for the night and the first show of the year is tomorrow, so I try to do it Sunday night. I'm real busy and I tend to forget shit, so if you don't hear from me shoot me an email and remind me to measure the rims.

Kellzey,
Tell me more about the phone dials? 944 I assume but I think there is more than one offset available, maybe turbo vs non turbo. Which do I look for for a 914?

[Bleyseng]

Jim, Mike Mueller ran them on his other car too and got them to fit. The offset should be 4 7/8" but what year that is, I lost that chart.

Thanks Geoff. I had a chart bookmarked too but the page has disappeared. It had all the part #'s, offsets and application for dozens of Porsche wheels. Should have printed a hard copy.

WOWEE Two outstanding looking 914s and photography that really brings out the best in each vehicle.
Elmonte and Rockaria, great job, I could use either one of those for a screensaver.

Here’s mine. This is a great board for the 914. I personally re-built the car between 1981 and 1988 and have owned it for 25 years. Painted Porsche Chiffon white. It was a bare shell project and I had the luxury of using mostly all NOS parts. It's a '72 with a dual carb 2.0 euro P/C's spec motor, late side shift trans, six suspension and 4 wheel vented brakes. 6X16’s NOS brown interior, rubber etc. and every nut bolt and hardware bead blasted and re plated. NOS Italian wiring harness, French taillights- a lot of mixed Porsche parts on the car. I molded the front aftermarket valance, a six pan in the rear and punched some louvers in the rockers and angled them out slightly- I used 944 rear hatch shocks for the rear trunk so I could remove the trunk springs to clear my carb linkage. I’m not ashamed to have the VW - Porsche emblem on the rear. Sorry to say, it’s a bit of a garage queen with 4,000 miles. Dave HWebshots page

Kargeek, you have a beautiful looking car.

is that mt. diablo ????

[Kargeek]

Thanks for the comment. I bought the car in '78 off a used car lot with a cheezy bronze color repaint with 90,000 miles. Made payments on it for 3 years and ran it into the ground. I tore it apart in '81 to build an engine and one thing led to another. These cars are finally getting the respect they deserve. If only I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if it was a six- or, telling me it's not a real Porsche, I'd be a wealthy man.

[krk]

Alrighty then. It's awesome to see these very sweet new addtions to the board!

I had two people ask me if mine was a 6 today! Man, I need a 6 now!!!
