You can always widen the steel ones. Here's a link. This is only one method. Others have installed the flares, then cut them mid flare and added a strip to move them out.

Stiffmeister,
When you said that you had bought your favorite wheels and now needed some flares to fit, I wondered if you meant Rufs? I did the same years ago and bought a set of 9's and 10's but now plans have changed so I'm leaning towards selling. But the Speedline Rufs are great looking wheels!!! |

As I mentioned, for some reason I really like the Bontempi flares. Subtle, but wide (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The car was of the road for 10 years and was verry worn out. I hope it clears inspection next week. Plan to drive it as is this sommer and hope the motor hold together. My transmission has a date with the transmission guy this coming winter for a quafediff and a Patrik intermidiate plate. I will put my old turbumotor together and upgrade my fuelsystem. Dont plan on doing more work so i can dan drive each sommer. Will be kindoff roling restoration-project. Sorry....... spelled wrong. I know you cant turbo a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)  |
