summit racing has these for sale. they are for bugs and I was wondering if the offset and backspacing will fit a 914. the picture also shows it as a 5lug set up I don't know if that's just a generic photo, is says it will fit a 4x130

I looked into those kind of wheels about 25 years ago while doing a budget resto, and they all had Beetle backspacing

I had them on a bug a few years ago. Weller wheels they're commonly known as.

My '82 Jeep CJ-7 had them as stock wheels.
I always think of those as offroad wheels. For VW's, lots of Baja Bugs had them. If you like them, go for it. But, they look out of place to me.  |

Fake fuchs are the same price. Maybe $20 more counting the caps and bolts.
http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?Pr...de=C32-LIT413-B Cip1 has many other styles as well. http://www2.cip1.com/SearchResults.asp?sea...w=20&page=5 |
