all 914's use 130mm BHC. /4's are 4-bolt. /6's are 5-bolt.
you will need 4-7/8" backspace. i was surprised this isn't in the 914 Info tab... |

good luck finding anything.....I wouldn't bother calling any of the regular wheel shops in the area....they'll be clueless or try and sell you VW bug rims (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)
best choice is Revolution (see vendor section) or Panasports (HPH) |

Find a set of Fuchs or Mahles for cool looking "sport wheels" for the 4 bolt setups.
or you can buy those Empi 8 spokes and run really narrow tires too. Geoff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Why do I bother???? Group: Members Posts: 633 Joined: 8-September 03 From: Madison, MS Member No.: 1,123 |
I prefer the pedrini wheels. I like the look a little better than the mahles.
Pedrini: (IMG:http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/914_wheel_types/914%20Wheels_files/pedrini-t.jpg) This is personally, my favorite 914 stock wheel, the Pedrini. The Pedrini was a 4-bolt alloy wheel offered from 70-72, and at first glance is very similar to the 4-bolt Mahle. There are two different types of Pedrini's out there. Early (and most common) Pedrini's will not fit on later (hubcentric) cars. Mahle: (IMG:http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/914_wheel_types/914%20Wheels_files/mahle-t.jpg) This is a 4- bolt Mahle wheel. Factory option from 73-76. In 1974, these were stock on all Limited Edition cars and were painted to match the trim (yellow, orange or green). It sounds ugly, but looks cool.
