I'll let you form your own opinions on the car itself.... my question is about the wheels. Are these Porsche Wheels? If so, I've never seen them before. If not... how did he convert a 4x130 lug pattern over to a 5x???... whatever that is. I brought that question up once before.. about buying an adapter that goes from a 4x130 to a 5x110 or 114....... no one makes them. The only adapters I know of are 4x130 to 5x130... but those don't look like wheels Porsche would make??? Did the car have a 5-lug conversion done to it........ then added adapers to fit this wacky looking wheel?? How'd he do this? Otherwise, I really like the side mirrors (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1976-Porsch...1QQcmdZViewItem Attached image(s) ![]() |

When I bought my car the PO included a set of adaptors that were supposedly for an earlier 911. I was shopping for 911 wheels and measured the adaptors just to be safe. They measured out to be 5x120, which is a BMW pattern. I bought a set of 16"x7" Mille Miglia Spiders from a friend for $200, and they look really sharp on the car. Being that it is a Chalon bodied car (forgive me for I have sinned) the offset and wheel width worked out perfectly. I will try to post some pictures later.
I'm not sure where the adaptors came from, they were at least 10 years old, but had never been used. I did have to put them on the lathe at work and bore the mold flash and about .010" out of the ID of the adaptors to get them to fit over the hub on the car. |
