[solo1]

got a set if wheels for my 914,wheels are in great shape but the black paint has faded in several areas. what kind of paint should i be using is there a wheel specific paint out there or will a satin oil based paint work just as well?

From what I can tell, there are at least 3 different dials. The early offset (pre 87 i think) that came in 15 X7, and those work well if it is a converted car like drilled hubs and rotors or 911 stuff. Then there is the late, and thats what I have. These have the newer offset like a boxter and came in 15X7, 16X7, 16X8. I'm sure other sizes as well. What I can tell you about these is they require spacers, adapters would qualify as spacers. With my 205/50/16's and the 16X7 late dials, I run 1 1/4 spacers all around. I did have adapters on the front and still had to remove the dust cover on the front strut. Problem with adapters, they are expensive for decent ones. So expensive you might as well buy eric's re-drilled stuff. They do pop up on here, I just sold a pair for 40 bucks last week. I do have one late 15X7 dial left over im not gonna use if you need one. I think Mueller has a couple more he wants to get rid of. Also the weidmans said they had tons of them at there shop no one wanted.
