As you might have seen elsewhere on this site and others, I just bought my fourth 914, this time a well preserved 1974 Olympic Blue, that has been in storage for over 20 years.
So first, this is an open invite for anyone near La Quinta CA to come by and see it anytime you like. And second, a call out for any advice or help to put this car back to dealer showroom condition. Also, what shows I should consider entering once she is complete. One of my first dilemnas is the side stripes. Were these dealer added? or factory? Should I leave the slightly worn originals in place?, replace them with repros, or remove altogether?? Randy |

As for wheels, were the Rivieras a dealer installed option? In that accessory vrochure, it jusst states, "alloy wheels."
Since it says "8 spoke" I assume it means the Fuchs? |

As for wheels, were the Rivieras a dealer installed option? In that accessory vrochure, it jusst states, "alloy wheels." Since it says "8 spoke" I assume it means the Fuchs? No, Fuchs were 4 spoke. Rivieras (totally non factory) were five spokes, though they may have been a dealer installed extra in some states. Whatever, Rivieras were never a Factory authorized wheel (for a reason - weak). There were some Minilite knockoffs that were installed by some dealers, but I don't think they were 8 spokes (can't remember). But in all cases, depending upon the year of your 914, the "factory authorized" wheels were very limited. I woul suggest you search the archives of this forum to get correct wheels from the factory.
