Gotta do the dance first (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Just got the green light from the wife to purchase new rims and tires for the 914, now the tough decision will be 15, 16 or 17 inch rims and tires....I'm leaning towards the 15's since more tire choices are available and after my last little fender bender with the 17" rims on the C2, I obviously cannot tell when my tires are low on air (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Decisions, decisions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Mike,
I couldn't put those ATS wheels on my car. All you'd see through those thin spokes would be all the grease, grime & dirt on my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) You might photograph your car from about the same angle as those wheels and then photo shop them in to actually see how they would look. It's your car - if you likem', slap em on! Yeah, Fuchs are kinda boring in that common sense, but I have always loved their appearance....especially with the spoke paddles polished out. At the AX, the ricers all stare and they're lookin' straight at those Fuchs. I think they have some hypnotic effect rolling at 5mph. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Hey D-Man, those are 1970 911 fender wells that are cut and welded into place. They are subtle enough that only other 914 owners notice it. But they're still quite roomy. I have a set of 8X16's with Yoko 245/45's that squeeze in. When I hit a severe dip, they chirp. I don't run them anymore because the 15's give me way better performance for AX. Good luck with your wheel quest. |
