I have been looking for new wheels for my 72 914 for a while now and came across these wheels on http://www.eaglewheels.com/. They are a reproduction Fuch wheels. Thay are seventeen pounds. Is 17 pounds light for a 914?? Thay are only 101 dollars which seens like a preaty good deal to me. What do you think. Do you guys know what size tire would fit on this rim.
Thanks Here are the demisions and stuff 15x5.5 Polished 4 on 130mm +35 mm 4.56 3029-06 1580 lbs. 17 lbs. $101 Attached image(s)

I thought those wheels were discontinued. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
It looks like that website hasn't been updated since last year.. maybe you should call them to confirm availability? |

If they are the same off set as Riviera's or Empi 8 spokes, ( also made by American Eagle )you can fit a 195/50/15 with little or no fender rolling. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
Don't think you can get a 205/50/15 on. |

I'm running 205/50/15 Falken Azenis. Very special.
Falken thread The more I run these tires the happier I get. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) |

Measure the stock steel, if you would be so kind, and report back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Why don't you just buy this set of Five Factory Fuchs that I have and have a lighter wheel, -13lbs, much stronger and with the proper offset. Get a set of Falkens and layeth the smack down on your competetion.
