Does anyone know if these wheels will fit an unflared 914? Here's a pic for reference:

Real ones ar BIIIIIIG money, but you can have deep sixes and 5.5" wheels widened to the same width and offset. I have a set of deep sixes lying around and was consdiering having this done.

Cast wheels? NEVER!


Big thing with a lot of the HSR crowd. If they can't break them...

I just don't like the looks compared to a std Fuch.

It's about weight and esthetics. Fuchs are way lighter.
