I need some used wheels, Cheap! Help!, anything will do. Options

[steeks]

Ok, here is my sob story... I was out in the old 914 doing a shake down run trying to locate the elusive noise from the back of my car, when all of the sudden... out of nowhere, a huge patch of ice right in the apex of a turn! Even my years of experience in amateur auto racing could not stop the car from sliding into a curb and in turn bending the s@#t out if my back wheel. Upon further investigation, 2 of my other wheels have a little movement in them as well. So, being unemployed at the moment and full of piss and vinegar, I'm searching for a set of wheels. Not looking for anything fancy, But this car is my daily driver and I need transportation. That being said, if anyone has a set of wheels that will fit a 4 lug 914, and would be willing to part with them cheap, Please let me know. Not looking for anything fancy, just need something reasonably straight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) ( right now, I'm the sheep!)

Did you check the local wrecking yards? The four lug pattern was also used on VWs, and you may be able to find some steel ones for not much money. I do seem to remember a few 914s at a wrecking yard near the Phoenix airport, but that was almost a year ago.

Hopefully, some members of the list may have some extra steel ones that they will donate to the cause!

Unfortunately, the trailing arm may be an issue, but it's better to bend an easily replaceable piece than tear out the mounts on the body. Sometimes those engineers do things for a purpose, and anticipated failure modes are not always a bad thing.
