QUOTE(Mueller @ Jun 24 2016, 11:54 PM)  Found these puppies today online...no price, which means I cannot afford them! I'm guessing steel center riveted to an aluminum rim section, pretty slick. Did some more research on these, I guess the factory did this method way back in the day for the 904 race cars! 6, 7 and 8 inch wide. http://www.karmannkonnection.com/shop/whee...0-kk-exclusive/ 950 Pounds each! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Only 4lbs per wheel tho! |

I saw the Stoddard was going to make them, not sure if that happened or not, still will be pricey but not as much (for us US people) |

That's insane...$350 for a Stoddard steel wheel. Essentially the same thing as an American Ralley wheel that can be had for $79 on summit....Porsche inflation.

I like the steelie look also. I cleaned up & repainted my factory ones also.

If you can find the correct ID size barrels (hoops) cutting out the centers, lining up and welding in new hoops is surprisingly easy.
At least it was with 24" tractor rims. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I had a line on blank hoops but I can't seem to find it now. |

[quote name='914forme' post='2296142' date='Jan 30 2016, 07:26 AM'] [/quote] (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I'll keep my Mahles, but still the look is nice, and I have the original set, but not the original hub caps. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Some one decided they liked the Fuch look, and in the 70s some one produced a hub cap that looked like a Fuch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) [/quote] Are any of the hubcaps interchangeable for the 914/4, 914/6, 911 and 944 steel rims? [/quote] No idea, never tried them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I run 914 steelies on my Ghia the 5.5 are 1" bigger than the 4.5s that came stock, they fit perfectly, and allowed me to run 195s all around. Never thought about putting them on the Ghia. On my 914-4 I ran Fuchs, then Mini-lights, then Cookies, Fuchs, Gas Burners, Centerlines, and now BBS Carrera 10 spokes. Never thought about trying them on anything but the -6, and I only know that they fit the -6 because thats what was on it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) If I can find them I'll post a pic, |
