In true 914 fashion the guys who I ordered them from made 8" rather than 7". So now I have to make a decision, stick with the 8" wheels and bash out of the rear fender a litle more or return them and get 7" wheels? These are 8" with 5" backspacing
I love the idea of the 8" wheels and they look real cool. Since this car is going to be a dedicated AX I guess 8" will work. These wheels are crazy light weight. The box of 4 wheels with shipping materials weighed 42lbs! I have another question for the SF Bay Area "club" members. Who in the South Bay Area can mount slicks on lightweight race wheels without screwing them up? I dont trust any of the guys in Santa Cruz with these babies! I'll post some pictures soon, but I'm having trouble with my image server right now. |
