With the help of this form and others, we have been slowly restoring our Delphi Green 73 914 2.0/4 Appearence package and are finally approaching the completion. In preparation of the build completion we asked Al Reed to restore our wheels and they arrived this morning. We think the wheels are amazing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
That said, I was going to install a set of P7s 165 70 15. Thoughts and advice would be appreciated. Please note that we will share the entire build once complete, thanks again for all the help! Attached thumbnail(s) |

Very...those wheels will fetch some dough if you decide to let them go.

Very...those wheels will fetch some dough if you decide to let them go. The VW offset american wheels? Don't know why those would pull money. I've tossed them on more than one occasion. They actually may be the 914 ET40 offset flavor too Jaimie, since VTO did make the 40 offset back in the day IIRC. And if cleaned up for sale, just about any period wheel will pull $50-100 per with the 914 & VW folks out there who like a particular wheel. TheSamba.com & here & CL, evil-bay etc. are the best places to list them FS. That style wheel was never one that flaoted my boat, but there are folks out there who like them. Frankly, I wasn't a big fan of the Fuchs 2L wheels back when I got my 73 2L in 1975, so I wasn't disappointed that it had the 5 spoke original Rivieras on it, but am going back to the Fuchs 2L with a set of 5 done by Al Reed for SoCalAndy's former 72 2056 build, but I'll have them anodized back to stock look (Andy liked them polished).
