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

I'm a fan of the Minilites too, but the Revolutions are good looking too. Recently saw this car on Craigslist for sale, and I really like these. They are called Cromodoras...

Actually not ATS. Cromodora CD 36. As far as I can tell, it's an Italian made magnesium wheel around 11 lbs,.... 14x6 in dimension. Looks like Cromodora makes a lot of wheels for Fiat, Alpha Romeo, and Ferrari. |

Google it and a set of ATS comes up on Pelican sold in 2014. Notice the placement of the valve. |

They also made a wheel that looks like those pictured. I can see the marking on the wheels on the car pictured to tell who made them. But it is clear in this picture that it is an ATS wheeel that looks the same or very similar. Jim  |

But it is clear in this picture that it is an ATS wheeel that looks the same or very similar. Jim Not to beat a dead horse, but the car is currently for sale on the North Port, FL craigslist and the owner clearly states the wheels are Cromodoras. Yes, ATS does make rims, and the ones pictured are very similar. As previously stated, the valve stem is in a different place...there are other slight differences....I think the spokes are wider on the Cromodoras. The Cromodora is also a 6" wide wheel, instead of the 5.5. I haven't researched the ATS wheels, but magnesium is pretty light weight, so I doubt the ATS wheels are as light. Down side, the cd 36's appear to be only 14" and are probably hard to find. Took the following pic and info off the autobelle website. "N. 1 circle cromodora to the magnesium, model CD36, Daytona, for cars volskwagen porsche 914, lance fulvia coupe hf zagato and vw maggiolone.Measure 6x14 ets 23, attack 4x130.Usato, edges and rolling ok.European 80 not tratt.Whells rims felgen llantas jantes.Info 3472511545" -Craig  |
