Interested in #3 wheel. Is the underlying foam still firmly attached to the metal rim or can it be rotated by hand?

Also may be the photo when I blow up but the splines look wavy -- are they like that on the wheel or is this just from picture resolution as I zoom?

Double Post, hate when that happens.

So the 914.347.805.11 is a 914-6 part?

Posted by: 914_7T3 Apr 23 2020, 09:04 PM

Perhaps, if it was on one of the approximate (250) 914-6s produced in 1972.

My understanding is that 914/6 and 914/4 underlying rim structure and splines were the same but that there were differences in the rear trim and/or the turn signal cancel pawl to allow the 914/6 wheel to work with the 911 column.

I'm sure I saw this debated to death somewhere in a thread.

Here's the facts-
Any early 914-4 wheel that ends in "10" is identical to a 914-6/early 911 wheel.
Besides not having the two little holes drilled to hold the 914-6/911 cancel ring, the wheels that end in "11" have a slightly different chamfer or angle on the back of the aluminum hub where they rest on the steering shaft. The "10" fits a Porsche steering shaft, the "11' fits VW, though you can make either one work. The switchover point between the 10 and 11 wheels started in the 1972 914's. The '72 914-6 used a VW steering shaft and thus used a 914.347.805.11 wheel.

Great seller. Completely happy with #3 wheel as purhased. Was actually in slightly better condition that the photos led me to belive. Underlayment is rock solid as was promised. Perfect as a core to recover which was my intent.

Currently working to see if I can save it as-is with some reconditioning.
