They look like Amercan Racing Torque Thrust D rims with a wierd offset. Could be Empi, but I've never seen them before.

They are American racing wheels, In a porsche 5lug pattern and offset. They run similar in cost to a good set of Fuchs, sometimes more...

Retro hotrod cool. Not sure why they would be touted as Porsche... Maybe because of the bolt pattern, but....

Thanks Guys! I think I will buy 'em if I they are available. Would be a fun retro look for Daily Driving tires.

Thanks for the extra pictures on the 914's....they look cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
