Finally brought home a new to me 73 914, owned by my dad for the last few years, finally able to make room for it and buy it from him. Been about 10 years since I sold my old 73 2.0. Like my old one, this car is all original paint and interior, but a little nicer than the old one. Not completely original, but nothing that can't be undone. 36K miles on it. Going to try and clean it up a little more underneath before the summer, and looking for some correct US turn signals.
Already got a set proper of 4 lug fuchs, getting ready to swap those on. Any idea what the set of 4 16x6's that are currently on it might be worth with the 5 lug conversion parts? Attached thumbnail(s) |

I haven't seen too many 4 lug backdates. Unless it all has to be origional, it sort of seems like your going the wrong direction (just my opinion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). But I imagine you are looking at ~1K for the wheels. They are pretty. It depends what type of parts your father used to go 5 lug. If hubs and rotors are drilled, then not a whole lot of money. If he used all oem 914-6, 5 lug hubs, stubs and the holy grail - 914-6 rear calipers, then your looking and a good chunk of change. Take some pics of the front and rear suspension and especially the brake calipers and this site will tell you exactly what you have, what's it's worth and probably a couple offers to buy along the way.
Pretty car! |

Pretty car! Just drilled rotors. Maybe I'm crazy, but I really like the look of the 4 lug wheels better. I did think about keeping the 5 lug and using deep 6's like the 914-6, but still liked the original look better. No racing or auto crossing planned, just tours and get togethers. |
