I have a set of 4 lug American Racing Wheels, they were called Libra wheels. The bolt pattern is 4" X 4.5". Not sure what the 914 bolt pattern is but they do look good on the PShop mockup. They are actually a spare set for my 240Z. I keep them for those occasions that I want to go vintage look which in the last 3 years has been... hmmm zero times...

stock 914 bolt pattern is 4x130 (5.118")....a few people have the 4 spoke version on 914's....I think they look odd, the 5 spoke rims look better....

i love them!
whats the offset? it appears it is a set of sixes and sevens...

My best friend had Libra's on his 914.

But the 4 bolts were 14" not 15".

Who's the guy out in Cali that sells the used wheels and has a pretty good website with pictures of all the old wheels??? Can find it. Bet he has a picture of the Libras.

Thanks for the pic, I think they look pretty cool. Would give the car a nostalgic muscular look.

It says they fit a 914-6 so I imagine they are the correct offset, 5x130 bolt pattern. Too bad they are in CA Shipping $$$

I like the way they look too.

depends on the sellers definition of fit, with or without flares or mods to the body?

Those were known as "Daisies"....way back when ( showin my age here ). The wheels I'm runnin on my Type III are also American Racing, but are designed for front wheel drive applications. They are called Fusions. I'm running the 17x71/2s. I've had several tell me they thought they looked a lot like Fuchs, but without the webbing. Price when I bought them was $162.00 each. Pretty good for chrome............Dad
