I need help from all of the wheel experts here in identifying these aluminum wheels. There 7" x 15", 4 x 130MM bolt pattern.

Any ideas on who made these?

Did I mention that they have a 2-1/2" backspacing and came off of a flared 914?

i think those will look good on a 914.

Has anyone seen them before?

They would look good if they have caps to cover the lugs and center hole....

Aren't those the same ones that were used on the VW&Porsche Mag's project car in the '80's??? Made by Specialty Wheels or somesuch name.

If I'm thinking of the same 914 project car, the white car with rainbow stripes on the rockers, they used a two or three piece wheel that had minilite-type wheel centers. The weird thing about those wheels was that they were bonded with an adhesive as opposed to bolted.

That's right. They were more like spokes. Bonded with a space age glue.

just IMO here....

why stick a 7" wheel where 8's and 9's belong...

you can fit 7's under stock fenders... so why the flares?

you will have a reaaally wide track... but only a 225 tire or so on there...

will look dumb IMO...

but that is my 2 cents..

get some centerlines in 4 lug if you want to stay 4 lug, at least they will USE the flare space......
