What is a really nice set of 5 914/4 Fuchs worth? These are very nice, straight and have the center caps. I found a nice little 73 LE 2.0L with 64K mi. that has been sitting in a garage for 14 years. I can get the car for cheap. Selling the Fuchs might help pay for the car.
Thanks

Prices vary wildly. I've seen plenty of complete sets go for $450-500. I've also seen people try to get $800-900, but I haven't heard of any actual sales at those prices.

"About" $400-$500. Condition can raise or lower the price. If the center caps are included (and they are in good shape, not beat to shit by decades of tire-monkey abuse!) and the correct long lug bolts, the price goes up.

Jeff......Calling Jeff.............JEFF?

Did they make funny paint jobs (LE's) in '73?

For 5 - $375.00 in poor shape - $700 in great shape. LE's came with Mahles I thought (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

'73 is worth the most of all (Sorry Jeff). Does it have front/rear sway bars and a 2.0L engine too? If it does, it was referred to as the "S" model by some dealers until PONA killed the name to avoid embarassment of the 911S.

Iffin you can get it "cheap" (whatever that means in your neck of the woods), go for it.

It has factory sway bars, is a 73 and has 63K mi and has been parked in a garage for 14 years. Rusty battery box but suspension console is solid. FI missing from years ago. $600.00 I would like to sell the wheels to help pay for the purchase of the car.

Check the inside of them to see if they have the fox logo and the 914 serial number to make sure they are real.

Just one question...if you buy the car and then sell the nice wheels on it. What are you going to put back on it?

You need wheels to drive it and you will be no further ahead if you have to buy some in the future.

I just don't like the Fuchs on a 914. (Ducking for cover) I will more than likely go to 6.5 wide steel wheels, painted gloss black with SS trim rings and standard early center hub caps. Or may got straight to 5 lug w/some sort of 911/Boxter wheel.

$600 - $400 (Wheels) = $200 + $300 (used djet system) = $500 + $100 (steel wheels) = $600 + new tires + new rubber + hours to make it run + ..................................,

You're worrying about paying for the car and then talking about a 5 lug w/Boxster wheels...........................Boy, I am really missing something here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Are the lug bolts for the Fuchs on the 914 of any particular special type? I
got the new-to-me 73 2L car home and have been looking the whole car over
trying to decide to build it or part it. Very little rust found so far
(famous last words) and the car is well equipped.

All 914 alloy wheels use the 38 MM lug bolt (all the same), whereas stock is 25 MM for the steel wheels. List on the alloy bolts was around $20.00 each, but aftermarket ones can be had for around $60.00 for a set.

Yes, they are special.

Oh, I forgot

Keep the car, keep the wheels and just restore it and drive it. Sell it a year or so down the road and then build what you want. The car will only go up in value.

Just my $250.00 opinion

Still don't know what to do with the car. By the way the car has been sitting for 20 years, has not been registered since 1984! Lots of different critter have been calling it home for a while.

Here is a link to the wheel pics.
