Says they are 13"x5½" and 13"x7". Neat design, would be cool AX wheels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

The design looks familiar, but I can't place it. But 13's won't fit over our brakes anyway...

A friend had a set of 14" on his 914 in 1978. |

Popular in the '70s especially with the Datsun Z guys. I have a set in the driveway for my 240Z. By the way, they polish up nicely but came with a grey matte finish on the paddles originally. Rob |

I have a set of these that I'll be selling after paint (using them as rollers now). They are American racing also but I'm not sure of the model. 14" x 6" I think.

I think instead of the stock 11") so he'd have the clearance....could have been smaller...but you get the idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

You're right, also AmRacing ("LeMans," IIRC) . . . have a set on the car right now, "5.5J x 15" Originally intended for VWs, there's not much clearance at the outside of the rear fender (only have about 1/2 whe running 165x15 tires). I think that there were some other sizes in this model for TR6 and Alfa applications. Best, |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Yup, you guessed it. Put some 13x9 wheels with 225/45-13's (little rubber barrels) on there. The gearing change will allow for much better acceleration out of the corners. And it'll be so short, that first gear becomes -too- short, and you can just not use it or worry about it. But changing brakes in my class isn't legal, so I couldn't go down that road. -Josh2 |

American "Daisy" Wheels And Brandon, nothing will make that 1.8 fast short of shooting it out of a cannon. Hey now Mr. "Glory Days" race car driver, you didn't run, let alone stay for the whole event Saturday, so I don't wanna hear it from you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) --In the midst of getting some sponsorship to shave weight and finance my 2.0 that Ron so graciously helped me get. I was thinking, going with smaller diameter wheels is cheaper than re-gearing a whole trans. Right Aaron? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) |
