I finally got around to putting my old Momos on the car.

What do you guys think?

very nice, perhaps nicer if you had flares

Looks good!

Cool !

I LOVE it, just the way it appears. The entire World does not always love GT flares.

Clean! I'm a huge fan of the narrow body look too, so don't change a thing!

Nice... I'm a fan of the 914 and personal choice. Narrow body, flared, it's all good to me. Wheels look good too!

Ok , but Fuchs are my wheel of choice. Good Luck with the new look!

sits real nice. did you put spacers on the front or just bigger tires?

Posted by: cwpeden Sep 30 2012, 09:32 PM

The tires are 205 60 15 Falken Ziex ZE-912.

These are a 4x130 Momo 5-1/2 x 15 wheel standard 914 offset.

My profile pic has a set of yellow pedrinis with autocross/track tires and my fuchs usually wear 205 50 15 RT615's.

I changed to these because I was tired of the gearing being wrong with the 50 series tires.

I have 3 sets of rims with tires, Momos, Fuchs and Late Steels. Just depends on the westcoast weather and I try to keep the car ready to drive year round.

I have three of those Momo wheels if anyone is interested.

Posted by: MrHyde Oct 1 2012, 08:17 AM

Lol... I was just gonna say I have a black set of those wheels up in the barn since I'm switching to 5-lug. They do look nice though. :-)

If you guys are interested in selling take a pic of the wheels and pm them to me.

thanks

x2!!!

I think these Momo wheels look great! Does anyone know how much one weighs? Are they cast or forged? Do they use a ball seat lug bolt or something different?

Posted by: Montreal914 Oct 2 2012, 07:48 AM

Beautiful wheels!
20 years ago I had a set on my dual carbed Beetle. I never see those around but it looks like some of the members have partial sets, if I wasn't converting to 5 lugs I would look for those.
Nice car!

(& I have GT flares!)

Posted by: zymurgist Oct 2 2012, 11:58 AM

Very nice!

Posted by: cwpeden Oct 2 2012, 11:21 PM

They are cast Aluminum. With a 205 60 15 they weigh about the same as a fuch with 205 50 15 rt615's. maybe a little lighter. They use regular long bolts.

I have 3 bent ones, they arent very tough wheels. I'm going to try some different paint scemes and will post pics to vote on. I tried solid black and thry look like crap.
