This look like a nice set at a great price but will they fit my 914 ?

Not that set. Pano does sell sets for our 914's. Pricey..but worth it.

Nope, the lug pattern for a 914-4 is 4 x 130.
There aren't too many available options for aftermarket wheels on a teener. Trust me, I've looked
You can convert to a 5 lug setup, but htats pricey.
You can redrill the hubs, but you have to replace them if the rotors ever go bad, and drill the new ones again.
Or you can just keep what you have )

They look just like those in the ad. AFAIK, Panasport only makes one style of rim for the 914.
For those out of state, Americas Tires or Discount Tires sells Panasport rims. You have to call and ask, they are not in thier database for on-line purchases.
I dont believe it. I hit refresh and I already get 3 answers to my question.
Thanks. Here is what I have now and believe me, I dont want to keep it:

Nice looking car!
I really like the color
cheers,
Jeroen
Actually, the wheels don't look too bad at all. The tires don't fill in the car very well though... too low?
I bet a couple of those "moons" hubcaps would look really good!
Now..... the RED porsche grill lettering???????
HERE YA GO!!!
I posted this in a different thread a couple days ago..... I knew someone would need them!!!
19 hours left!!

I bought a set of Panasports for my 914. 15x7 with 4 and 7/8" backspacing with 130x4 bolt pattern. They are great. Cost about $240 each because they have to machine them for our unique bolt pattern. 4x100 wheels are closer to $200 each.
I like those steel rims on that car.......I'd go with tires just a little wider while keeping the same diameter....
The fit looks good in the rear, the front needs a spacer to move the wheels out some to fill up the void, but this is true for all stock 914's IMHO
I'd rather see the lug nuts instead of putting the hub caps back on
i thought they had a different offset than the beetle version
seems like quite a stretch 5.5 -> 11? double....wow. anybody widen f lug fuchs?
are the stock steel wheels lighter than the alloys?
Just got the new Tweeks catalog....they are still selling those cheesy Rivieras. 499 for a set of four....in either gold or balck accents.....
Thats it, I had to check it. And of course the wife said : Problem with the Porsche again.
I just did pull one off the car and there are no number or anything in the back. No obvious soldering either. Tires are 195/50R15. The paint would be original if it would be a GM. And it came with the red lettering when I bought it a few months ago.
Thanks for all you comments. Next time I will post a pic of the wife and you can post you modifications suggestions .
One more: No I am not the guy on the picture.

look alot like empi's to me...
I think they are designed after the mini-lite wheel
Pic of my previous teener with Panasports + 205/50 Hoosiers --
I really liked these wheels as a wider 4-lug solution. They are very light and strong, too.
maybe I'm blind to the subtleties... but they look a lot like EMPI rims... and those are cheap to get...
Nice car, BTW. I like the 916 front bumper. Particularly in the second picture the chrome wheels look good.
Thanks Anton. The only problem with the front bumber is that it is half an inch larger than the fenders. Doesn't look right.
Honestly, I prefer the look of the 914-6 GT with the opening for the front oil cooler.

Don't bother....the answer is........they all need bigger.......bank accounts.......
Serge's car looks really, really nice.
If it were mine, I would reinstall black bumpers with the oil cooler outlet or chrome bumpers to match the wheels. You're right, the 916 bumper looks a little odd without the bigger finders in this case. In some cars it looks okay.
Overall.. it's a really nice looking ride!
Any interior pics?
Thanks but this is nothing compare to your project
Being optimistic, I would say there is room for improvement.
The floor will need some attention ( POR 15 ) but I am not planning to put any carpets.
I will leave the door panels without armrests, GT style.
