For brand new wheels, Revolution Wheels and Panasport and a few race only* wheels are available that'll bolt right on.
*3-piece and start at about $350 each You could re-drill your hubs to a different 4 bolt pattern, but there are other issues to deal with afterwards.. |

I've always thought it'd be better to convert to 5-lugs and get a set of Boxter rims...

4- lug?
Circle or diamond with steel and or al custom offsets not to much $$$. Fuchs, possibly some old bbs's, panasports, minilites, all of the custom race companys like kodiak and such, bigger money. Mine with fuchs..... Attached image(s)

I've been waiting for a set of fake fuchs for two months now. I gess the manufacturer is out, so I'll have to wait until they make a run of them again, someday. I started looking around to see what else will fit the 4 x 130 mount, I stumbled across these on the web yesterday. Made bt ATS...

Simply put, real ones will cost me more.
I decided to go with the fakes, because they are freshly polished & painted. The package price I got from the local tire store was only slightly more (about $50 bucks) than the sets of used I've seen advertised, plus new lug bolts, plus mounting are in my package. I would have to pay more for a real set after spending time and money on polishing & painting supplies, lugs, and mounting. However I'm still playing the waiting game. |

Does Panasport make a 15x7 that fits 4 bolt pattern with proper offset ? I was thinking of giving them a call.

I just called Panasport last week.
15x6 street wheels (comes with center caps) +30 offset 264.00. They can do 15x7, they have to be machined (so I was told) and they are their racing wheels - not for road use. Offsets from +25 to +40. You would probably want the +40 to fit in your wheel wells, they run $310.00 What about the BRM flat 4 wheels, 4 spoke jobbers for about $110. Look a little funky but might be that different look you are after. |

except for ATS, Revolution, and Panasport, i don't believe there are any companies currently making wheels for our cars...
there were a few more companies in the 70's and 80's though -- every once in a while something will come up on ebay. |

I thought someone had a website that listed/showed all the wheels for the 914.
If not we should all post a picture of ours and nail it somewhere here for referance. Paul |

Way back, I bought a set of 15" x 5.5" silver ATS Road Stars as shown in the photo. I had 185/70 x 15 tires on them. I thought they looked pretty good and I used them for several years. The one problem was the offset. I guess it was a beetle offset, because I don't think any larger tire wold fit in the rear without pulling the fender. The quality was very good I thought. I sold them to a fellow on the bird board a couple of years ago. |
