914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Finished the Originial Steels
Posted by: shredtherad Aug 11 2022, 08:03 AM
I spent some time and stripped the pain on the original steel wheels and repainted them.
I finally finished up last night and got out for a quick spin.
What do you think?

Fantastic! Those caps go perfectly with the chrome bumpers.

Steelies are a great look.

I like steelies but the chrome caps remind me too much of a vw beetle. It’s my problem, not yours.

love the steelies but loose the hubcaps and drop the front end a tad.

I do like the look of the non-capped steels. Any bigger photos of your car? Also, what do you think about the front end? Drop a little? I tend to agree.

That look is what drew me to 914s over 40 years ago. Raw, simplistic, uncluttered, no-nonsense fun. Makes my heart pound even now, I find it refreshing.

Those wheels look great. 
Really love the profile pic. Not everyone seems to be a fan of luggage racks, but it really adds a nice extra touch to the classy look of the car.

I am not a fan of the luggage rack but it came on the car so leaving it for now…

Looks like it’s just rolled off the dealer lot circa 1970!
Looks great!

Looks great. What was your process for refinishing them? What paint did you use?
