Wheel options?, 4 x 130 15 inch after market wheel options. Options

Other than the factory wheels what are available in either 5.5 or 6 inch width with correct back spacing for a stock body 914?

Thanks,
Mark

I was wondering, I'm looking at the 4x130 Enkei Compe.
Anyone tried these wheels on a 914? They're 15x5.5, 4x130, 17mm inset. I'm looking for a quality watanabe style wheel to put on my 914 that won't break the bank. I'm thinking with the enkei's it might be pushing it on a narrow body. I don't want GT flares, though I'm open to some more subtle flaring or just rolling the fenders. I would want 195's or 205's for tires probably.

For 205 tires you will need a 40mm offset in a 5.5" width, and even that's tight.

Those 17mm offset wheels are almost an inch closer to the fender. You have to be careful when looking for 914 fitting wheels on an aircooled VW site.

I was under the impression the stock offset was 35mm?

In any case, I'm guessing to run these I'd have to run like 165's and roll my fenders. And I'm not going to roll my fenders for 165's haha. If I could conceivably run 195's I would consider these, even at the 17mm offset.

I emailed panasport and they don't seem to make 914 wheels anymore. Looks like minilite does though. But I'm almost certain it will be over $1k for the set.

Edit: oooo these look very promising!! https://www.vtowheels.com/914_c_162.html
