Ok, here is my sob story... I was out in the old 914 doing a shake down run trying to locate the elusive noise from the back of my car, when all of the sudden... out of nowhere, a huge patch of ice right in the apex of a turn! Even my years of experience in amateur auto racing could not stop the car from sliding into a curb and in turn bending the s@#t out if my back wheel. Upon further investigation, 2 of my other wheels have a little movement in them as well. So, being unemployed at the moment and full of piss and vinegar, I'm searching for a set of wheels. Not looking for anything fancy, But this car is my daily driver and I need transportation. That being said, if anyone has a set of wheels that will fit a 4 lug 914, and would be willing to part with them cheap, Please let me know. Not looking for anything fancy, just need something reasonably straight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) ( right now, I'm the sheep!)

Hate to add salt to the wound but... be prepared to get a rear trailing arm as well.

No 4-lug wheels here but I'll give you a good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif)

Did you check the local wrecking yards? The four lug pattern was also used on VWs, and you may be able to find some steel ones for not much money. I do seem to remember a few 914s at a wrecking yard near the Phoenix airport, but that was almost a year ago.

Hopefully, some members of the list may have some extra steel ones that they will donate to the cause!

Unfortunately, the trailing arm may be an issue, but it's better to bend an easily replaceable piece than tear out the mounts on the body. Sometimes those engineers do things for a purpose, and anticipated failure modes are not always a bad thing.

20th Street Auto has plenty of wheels but his pricing is all over the map. Some days he is a steal, other days a rip. Worth a try.

I would even give Jack Doverspike at Stuttgart Southwest a call. He might have some laying around that he would be willing to sell. I've bought a couple of center caps and a few other random parts from him in the past.

If you pay for shipping I have 2 steel sport wheels that are 4 lug, and 2 wheels that are on the rear that are a combination of steel rim and gold center. They're free if you want them.

I have four 4 lug 15" "trash can lids" with the star pattern. Here is the problem, they are 4.5" wide. All the 914s that had that wheel had 5.5". I think they came from a VW. Anyone want them? $100 Eventually I'll put them on "thesamba".

Wow, you guys are great! I haven't heard anything definative from anyone yet, But just the fact that some people are putting forth an effort kinda makes me feel all warm and fuzzy all over. I was raised to always lend a hand to people in need regardless of their situation, It is nice to see that those simple values are still alive today. Regardless of whether I find some wheels for my car or not, There are some good down to earth people on this website, and your efforts are truly appreciated and will be remembered.

I still have my original spare steel wheel you can have. I just gave away the other four this last summer to get them out of the garage. (went to five lug). I can check with the guy I gave them to to see if he still has them if you don't find any closer. I am just about to go back to work next week after 15 months off, so I understand.

Anything will help, Having to walk 1.3 miles to catch a ride into town really sucks in the cold. Please let me know. I know that my passenger side rear is trash, and my drivers rear and drivers front have alot of movement in them. By looking at them, you would thing I was taking some "Dukes of Hazzard" jumps in this thing. Thanks alot.

I'm pretty sure I have 4 steelies I would gladly give you as long as you paid for shipping. In fact I'd like to get rid of some of them. But it sounds like you're in a hurry and time is the one thing I'm really short on. If you have some time and don't need them this instant, PM me.

If you need a trailing you can have one free if you pay for shipping. Most have the hubs removed and the bearing would probably need to be replaced.
I might have a set of Dan Gurnay wheels that would also be free. I am out of town until the 14th.
Give me a call at 951 536 7478. I may have a freind who could take them to the Phoenix area.
