What do you think the best looking four stud wheels on a narrow body 914 are? Fuchs? Mahle? American Racing?

I just bought these to refurb. Just a different option from the original steels. They have 'Rocket' on the back but no idea about them.

Look like empi's - careful on offset; there were as I recall VW and porsche offsets available. VW offset is higher and does not allow as wide tires as the porsche. |

Oh, thanks - I hadn't considered that! Yes I think these will be no good for the 914 as backspace is about 100mm and offset 19mm. Back on eBay with them.....
