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) |

But yes was a popular tire upgrade..back in the day Tom how is your 914 coming along ?? I don't think they made the XWX in less than V rating, so folks who wanted them to race or do spirited street driving got them & overpaid IMHO to get them on /4s, since the Dunlop SP57s & Semperits were almost as good & plenty enough for a /4 IMHO. My resto is coming along sloooooow - other than sourcing needed parts here & there. Just too much else going on now with my biz, house refurb/resto, family illnesses/deaths, other car stuff + hunting for a Cayenne S, etc., etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
