Yup, so are there any 4 lug wheels out there to fill out a flared car? Has anyone used 4 luggers on a flared car? How did you do it, and do you have any pics?

I know a member here root has a set of black NASCAR/wagon wheel looking set on his car.

Here is what i would do. I know this can be done too because he offered to do it for me. Take a set of 4 lug Fuchs and send them to Harvey Wiedman. Tell him how wide you want them. He will widen them and refinish them and all you have to do is write a check for more than your car is worth... Just kidding! But it will be a big big check.

Like these? This is member porsha916's car. I sent him a pm about them but he hasn't been online since then.

Yea, the big check thing is what I'm trying to avoid.

Here's root's car. His wheels are very similar.

Yep like those

Posted by: LowGT Jun 14 2007, 10:01 PM

Seems like they are Diamond Racing Wheels. Very affordable too.

I had these custom Pedrinis. They were built into 16x8's and 9's IIRC. Don't ask me who made them. I bought them on ebay and I never used them. I ended buying a car with a good 5 lug conversion. They were really nice. I sold them to a club member, maybe he will chime in.

i used to have a set of 4-lug centerlines that were perfect offset to fill out the GT flares.
7" x 14 with 225 tires ...

You can get the 4 lug wheels from JC Whitney for cheap. They have many sizes available.

My ax car has 15 x 8 four lugs fake Centerlines. The look like the ones in Andy's pic above. Good luck finding a set. But you may try Thesamba.com wheel classifed section. There is a whole bunch of crazy 4-lug stuff on there.

Centerlines with 245/50 front, 265/50 rear. I have an extra set

good job! We are having made in australia some custom four lug 914-4 factory fuchs for flared and stock applications in 7x16 8x16 and 9x16 Pictures coming soon! The ones I have seen are very exciting and should give us all a cheap but high quality wheel to put on our 914s. As you probably know American Eagle has recently discontinued their 5.5x15 fuchs repro so this one will come just in time

Posted by: 914nerd Jun 15 2007, 10:25 AM

George,
Any idea when you are likely to have those and what the pricing might be?

Posted by: DEC Jun 15 2007, 10:32 AM

7" ATS Classic with 30mm spacers

Posted by: DEC Jun 15 2007, 10:34 AM

9" and 11" ATS classic in a wide body

Posted by: faux916 Jun 15 2007, 11:45 AM

That car is stunning!

Posted by: mrdezyne Jun 15 2007, 03:00 PM

I went a slightly different route, still 4 lug but 4x100 honda bolt pattern. Axis wheels makes staggered sets for this bolt pattern in modern styles. Can post pics if anyone is interested.... 17x7 and 17x9

Posted by: dr914@autoatlanta.com Jun 15 2007, 03:21 PM

Our man in australia has recently had a prostate problem so is a little behind. Pricing will be about 200 a wheel.

It seems I don't really have good shots of front and back together... this will give you an idea though.. I think they look good for street but will probably get another set of something lighter if I ever decide to auto-x....

and a rear with and HPH flare. They will tuck better than this once back on the ground.... the fronts actually fit just right with stock fenders....

I run Diamond wheels on the track and street and Centerlines for Autocross.

Thinking of getting some 15 x 10 diamonds.

Wish I could afford some 15 x 10 Kiezers

Posted by: PORobinSCHE Jun 15 2007, 04:39 PM

Joe, what size Diamonds are you running now??

Posted by: degreeoff Jun 15 2007, 04:42 PM

I have a set of 15x8 black wagom style that I'll let go for 175 + shipping...I am going 5 lug.......

Posted by: ws91420 Jun 15 2007, 04:48 PM

Weld racing also makes a set in 4 x 130 if you know what backspace to use. Saw them on Summit's site
