I currently have Fuchs 16 x 8&9s, and want to get a set of 17" wheels so there are better track tire choices (will be running 225/45/17 and 245/40/17).
Which 17" wheel do you think would look best on a 914? I've narrowed my choices down to: Lindsey Racing 17" Fuchs P2 Fikse Profil 10 Kinesis K27 I'm leaning towards the Lindsey Racing 17" Fuchs because Fuchs' just look so right on a 914. But, I already have a set of 16" Fuchs so thought I'd consider something else. I'm afraid the other wheels will look too "modern" on a 914. I don't have many good side pictures of my car, but here is one... Whaddya think? -Steve Attached image(s)

First pic is the Cup1 wheel in 16"
Came on the 964 and 968 cars Second pic is the Cup1 wheel in 17" Came on the same cars as above Third pic is the 17" Cup2 wheel Came on the 993 You can get the 17" cup1 and cup2 design as replica's (same manufacturer as the originals), but with offsets for earlier 911s ('till 1989) so you won't need spacers. |
