Deep dish 4 lug would be a nice option.

Manny: "Ok Team. What do you think will be the next trend in rims?"

Moe: "I was in Walmart the other day and all the girls clothes were fluorescent colors again this year."

Jack: "Yah, plus all the movie and TV remakes, the 80's are definitely making a comeback."

Manny: "Yah guys, I think you're right." (brief pause) "I know exactly what iconic rim we should remake!"

Think he'd want to buy some billet hubs if someone started making them again?

I think if painted right... and with a nice offset, they might look good! Otherwise, as said previous, my fuch's are already paid for! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I am looking forward to see how well they look on a 914.

GT flares and staying 4 bolt is likely the only reason one would buy these.

That said I've already gone 5 bolt and have real fuchs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

I think the first post is partially correct when they stated - make the air cooled vw crowd happy. From the comments above, I doubt it will be much of a 914 crowd pleaser.

Even then you need wider fenders for any rims wider than stock Fuchs.
Add to that you can already get Fuchs repops, plus a huge number of other rim choices relatively cheap.

True, but there will always be people willing to spend those extra dollars to have something different.

I do think we'll see them on more VW products than on 914s.

And pay they will. A lot of money!

For giggles I priced out the 5 lug rims in 16 x 7 with a 23 offset in RSR finish matte black and silver with center caps.

The total was.......

Almost $4000.

I didn't pay that much for any of my 914s.

Yeh.... you're right and who am I to talk, I put 20" Foose rims on my bus.

Funny, he advertised them in his catalog for years.

Anyone see any updates on these wheels?

Raining and too cold to go in the garage so I goofed around on the computer while watching TV tonight...not perfect and needs major work but will be good basis for making a 3D printed scale version.

4-Fuchs in 18",custom widths.Rhino3D.
Why I like the 1552 endeavor,for a greater selection.
Their product is different enough to be unique,not the same.
This model is a regular extrusion,without the Fuch's forged part's curvature.

The future is now,for your replicating pleasure.
Scan,model,post,machine or print.
