I have recently aquired a 73 914 with 2.0 FI. It has set up for a while but has been covered in a garage. I am going to bring it back to life and have one question. As I have 4 VWs including 1 type 4 bus, will a set of Empi 4lug wheels fit on a 4 lug 914. The car has 3 of the factory wheels like I have seen in some pictures and 1 VW wheel installed. I want to move it to a better place (My Garage)and I have the aforementioned wheels and would like to put them on. Is that Kosher or should I just try to find the missing wheel. I am new to the whole Porsche scene but I am familiar with the 2.0 FI cause thats the engine in my Type 4 bus. I have worked on VWs for about 12 years and I am expanding my Hobby.

Oh and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) I also have the 8 spoke empi, I have 195/55 tires, were pretty tight until we rolled the lip under, and I have those caps with the emblem. Got those from autombile atlanta. Also saw them on the samba site. Bolt pattern is a 4x130 some like bonds tv had 4x100 or 4x110 You should be fine. Phil |
