I keep going back and forth with which wheels I'm gonna use for my air-cooled car (my subi conversion will be running ATS cookies). I have both sets of: replica Deep Six Fuchs and Sun-bug sport steelies (just like 914 sport steelies but with a deeper lip because of the off-set). I have 5-lug converted rear hubs and would probably use adapters on front for a while (if going w/ fuchs replicas). BTW, I'm doing body work on the car(s) and can stretch the narrow-body fenders no problem... I even picked up a good set of used 205/60-15s to mount as the widest I'd go - for body work and mock up at least. I just need to pin down a plan and thought I'd get the collective opinion from world. The engine will be either a 1911 or 2056, haven't decided yet.

I dislike the "sun bug" steelies. To me, they look cheap.

But it is your car. Do what you want with it.

If I go steelies, I'll have to be careful not to run over your toes at some point (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I get your point tho.. but then I was thinking how the steelies (all be it different ones) are the ONLY wheels for a 904 for instance, IMHO. Or a 906. They do have a certain primitive charm.
