Thats right just spoke to Tom at Revolution wheels.They are making a new wheel that is 15 by 7 four lug that will fit under stock fenders!!!They are about $230 a wheel. If he can sell 10 or more sets the price will greatly reduce. give him a call or goto his web site ( what's happening area).

the RZX looks cool... can't say I care for the 4-spoke ones..

the traditional 5-spoke and RFX(NOT GOLD) are *ok*

I think it's great that the new rims are available!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

I still prefer polished Fuchs IMHO...

I wanna know when they are gonna make a 17 inch rim, with 4X120 lug patterns, that fit under a stock-bodied 914.

Oh.... and I want Santa Claus to deliver me Ms March to my front door with a bow on her head

unless you've got some whacko custom hubs, 4x120 won't fit on your car in any size - 914 BHC is 130mm...

Ok..... I jusat got off the phone with TOM... the owner of this place (nice guy by the way).

Yes..... they do make a 17 inch wheel, with the 4X130 lug pattern, and the correct backspacing to fit under a stock-fendered teener

He quoted me a price of $1150, including necessary lugbolts, shipped to my door.

HOWEVER, group buys are available. I doubt I can get 48 people to buy them, but MAYBE we can find 4?? If 4 people order them, we each can get everything for under $1000.

I'm gonna buy.... regardless..... but if you may be interested in a group buy.... lemmy know... just PM me.

Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I just received a set of the 17x7s a couple of weeks ago. Mounted Kumho V700 205/40/17's on them. They appear to clear the fenders with no problem. They weigh about 25lbs with the tires mounted on them. I haven't driven the car with them on yet, I'm waiting for my heads to come back so I can put the motor back together. I'll let you guys know what the car rides and handles like in about a month or so. The wheels do look to be of very good quality. And they're sure to be an enourmous improvement over the 15x5.5's I was running on!

that's cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

i emailed him last year and the rims at the time were no longer being made in 4x130, i'm glad that our odd little boltspacing is making a comeback!

too late for me, however, i just picked up these on ebay. lighter than the revolutions, 6.5+ width, 5" backspacing, 3-piece, blah blah blah, and a little "eighties" looking

OH QUIT GIVING ME SHIT--lol

I was excited when I saw them.... I've done countless searches on the net for anything above a 15 that matched our lug pattern.... never found it till t was posted here today.

Hell.. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with the guy--LOL

Talking nearly 2 G's to get these things on my car with tires.. so it may not be immediate... but it IS going to happen.

Really?

My 7 X 15 BBS + 205/50 Kuhmos weighed 39 lbs ea.
Fuch, 7 X 15 + 225/45 Hoosiers came in at 33 Lbs ea.
The Fuch are around 12-13 lbs alone.
My new cookies are 13-14 lbs.....bathroom scale stuff.

Was that a WAG or didja put em' on a scale?

What about the Panasport 16x7? Does that fit our cars? Doesn't Panasport also make a 15x7 with the 911R offset?

You know, I've been searching and can't find a Panasport fitment guide. Panasport.com seems useless.
