Because I don't have enough going on right now, I bought a 912 project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Fuchs are the usual go to.
15x6 are 16# each. 951 spares 15x5.5 are 11#s!! I LOVE the steelie look, but 15x5.5 are about 20#s each. The 951 spare looks like the steelie but are aluminum. Your 67 would have had 15x4.5. No idea how much they weigh. No matter what you decide to do it should be fun and rewarding. Buckle up and enjoy the ride! |

Buckle up and enjoy the ride! Early flat Fuchs are pretty light. Later ones are ~1lb more Minilites are cool but not light. (6 1/2 fits stock 914) 6" Cookies are cool and cheap. 4 1/2" stock steelies aren't that heavy. Attached image(s)

Nothing radical, nothing too expensive but enough to make a difference. But first I need a solid chassis. |
