AKAIK, no factory Cup wheels are available with the correct offset for a 914 w/flares...the aftermarket Cup wheels are very heavy and a few have cracked (during track use)

The early offset cupwheels are not sold by Porsche, but they are available from the same manufacturer that makes the original 964/993 wheels. These are made in Italy (cant recall the brand name right now).

They are slightly heavier than the stock 964/993 wheels, but that's logical because the spacers are part of the wheel.

They are also available from some other brands/manufacturers.
Just make sure you get TüV approved wheels (German or European brands) and you will have no cracking or other safety issues

cheers,

Jeroen

Fikse would be my choice.

there is a nice set of Fikse's on e-bay. Offsets and widths for a 930 but you can order new rim halfs to make them work.

I say Lindsey's 17" Fuchs. Wonder if anyone's put them on a 914? I've never seen a picture on one..

For the HRE 311s is the center "fuch" section of the wheel larger than the Lindsey P2/P3? Is the difference between HRE and Lindsey that HRE makes the 311 from scratch and Lindsey takes your old fuch and welds on a wider rim/ taller. I guess the simpler way of putting this is do the HRE wheels have better proportions between the center of the rim in a 17 size than the Lindsey?

I think both 17" Fuchs are made from 16x6 Fuchs, so the centers are the same.

my buddy paul had the HRE's on his carrera (pic below) they were nice wheels but took 3 times to get made the right size/offset.

I like the Lindsey wheels myself and am considering them for bluecar.

The car was for sale on e-bay some time ago. I believe it sold for around $23000US.

Soloracer, are the fenders Sheridan's standard bodyworks?

Does anyone have any pics of how these fenders are attached?
