Backspace on the BRM's are 3 5/8" so that should give you a positive offset of 1.875" My enkeis have a 20mm offset so the postiive offset (from the back of the hub mount)is 1.97 - these BRM's might be a decent fit.
A little fender rolling might be in order, I can fit 205x50's on empis on the rear with a little tugging of the fender, 195x60's on westerns/dan gurney wheels with the same amount of room. |

7x15 Revolutions on my AX car. Not cheap, $999 per set. Not sure if that includes bolts, plus shipping.

That's the bad news. About 6 lbs. per wheel more than 2.0 Fuchs.
I put a bunch of fiberglass on to lose weight, then added 24 lbs of unsprung weight! Hope money spent on wheels and money spent on f.glass aren't cancelling each other out. I was advised by a very experienced 914 autocrosser that 7's would make more difference than any other improvement. The 205/50 V. Racers sure seem to like them better. Sidewalls not all pinched in like on 5.5 Fuchs. Yesterday was first time out and it was wet so hard to tell yet if I gained or lost. |

yep....I want to say 22 a pop....do I care? not really, it's for a street car and I know with the extra material they'll have the strength to take the abuse of the road..............it's all a trade off...one thing for another.... |

These were built by Custom Racing Specialties in California back in the 80's with an off-set specific to the 914. Unfortunately they're out of business now.

Someone found these awhile back - they appear as if they should fit. Lightweight rim at a pretty good price. Here's the thread on it:

Yikes 22 lbs for a 17x7 wheel! ...thats heavy even for street use. My 17x8 street wheels for my 3400 lb Audi weigh 20 lbs! The rims that the 20lb wheels replaced were 24lbs and I can feel the difference in acceleration in a 250 hp Audi. I can only imagine how slow those make a 914 feel. I have 11 lb street wheels on my 2000lb Toyota and have put 40,000 hard miles on those rims without a single issue. They made these custom for 914's and didnt think about keeping them lightweight? I wonder how much the 15x7's they make weigh? I think they could have made these a little lighter and not sacraficed durability for street use. |

in all fairness for the Revolution wheels...they are designed for Rally racing, not your typical and less abused road racing/auto-x venue (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Riverman, curious what tire combination you are running with those 17x7 rev's. Looks like you have original fenders without flares.
