hi all,
I m in search of a set of 914-6 original Fuchs rims. May I ask if early 911 rims are the same as 914-6 rims? are the offset the same? Or are they two completely different wheels? Thanks for any help. Cheers Carson |

The 14s were an option. It is not clear if the 15s were or not; they were a popular dealer upgrade at the very least.

5.5x15" steel wheels were the standard rim on the 914-6, with 5.5x14" Fuchs or 5.5x15"Mahle wheels as options. As Dave alluded to, many dealers switched things around to increase profits. Amazing how many cars ended up with a steel rim for the spare when they were optioned for the alloy wheels.
