better look
these were a bit rusted and neglected when I got them...I just did a quicky paint job with some rattle can gloss black for centers and gloss grey for the rims.
they will be bead blasted and repainted in a factory finish silver and then clear coated. That job will start next week once I get the old race rubber off of them.

hey mike. did u use wheel adapters or did u convert to 5 lug rotors?
steve
Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 2 2008, 01:19 AM
Nope, there is a specific year of 944 that has the perfect offset. They are 24mm and 15mm IIRC. I can recheck. I am running 17X7 with 225/45 in front and 17x9.5 rear with 255/45. I didnt want to use adapters. I have 5 lug conversion parts and a 911 front. I have 2 sets of drilled rear rotors if anyone is interested ($100 ea + ship).

I welded brackets to the body and then pop riveted the front and rear bumpers to the brackets. The rear bumper is also seamless. Then, LOTS of fiberglass work !!

Posted by: 749142 Feb 3 2008, 12:37 AM

maybe so but it doesnt look as well. besides put a little more power in a regular 914 and u wont have to convert to slantnose.

true but as long as we all like how we have personalized are 914s. i personally like the 916 look. i dont like the idea of cutting up the front end like they do with those chalon kits. but as long as we like wut we have and can defend y we did it its cool.

Some have very strong feeling against the chalon kit too
Just be happy that most of them keep their opinions to themselves.

close but not quite.....Panasports and the newer wheels like Gint have are very similar....and Panasports are a very close clone of Minilites.
These wheels look like the original Empis from the 70s

wow, i've never wanted to go to 5 bolt becouse it always seemed that youd have to flare with those chubbies... guess not 9.5 on the rear? did you have to pull the fenders much, it looks minimal.
the rotors must for 5 bolt, right?
mike
Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 4 2008, 08:26 AM
I have about 2-2.5" of flare blended in to the car Rotors are drilled 4 lug to 5, but you can use /6 if you want.

Marv, very cool picture of your car. I love Fuchs made into BBS 3 piece rims. You can space them with the halves. I have 8's on the front with a factory scrub radious. Pretty cool, not cheap, but cool.

It's just a duck tail. You can get them at most places that make fiberglass stuff for 914s.

Cool! I like the way they fill the wheel wells and don't need shims to clear the BMW front callipers. The PO had oversized wheels before and the paint flaking on the rear fenders are from 225/50/15s he had on. I run 205/55/15 Gforce and they are nice and wide with no rubbing.
