I found some 8" "Centerline" wheels on Ebay afew months ago for $300. After I got them they are really "look-a-likes". They are not real Centerlines. These are one piece with fake rivets. Real Centerlines are two or three pieces. Oh well, they're 8" wide and weigh the same as my 7" Revolutions. But they also have a shollow backspacing so they stick out more. After the 225/50 tire is mounted, they end up being 5/8" wider at the tire and 1" wider on the car.
This is your typical 914 story. Where one thing leads to another. To get my new 8" wheels to fit I needed to install GT flares. Back to Ebay I went. I found a set of fiberglass GT flares still in the box for $200. Now I take a jigsaw to my very nice, recently painted fender and cut the crap out of it. I then butt mounted the flare, instead of lapping it on. I'm not done yet but here are some pictures. Paul |

I also took my grinder to the back side of the spoiler end plate so I can pull it out to meet the lower fender line.
If everything holds and lines up when I release the clamps tomorrow, I'll take the belt sander to it and take off the high spots of the glass. Than I'll put the first layer of bondo on it. Most of the first layer will get sanded off anyway but its easier to see what you have after that first bondo pass. If the glass gets too thin after the belt sander I'll add a layer of glass on the inside. Paul Attached image(s) ![]() |
