COA Question for a 1971 914-6, Question on Wheel Option listed on my COA Options

[sbartmess]

I just received my COA from PCNA for my 914-6. It lists the following for the Optional Equipment:

1. US Equipment
2. Tinted Side Glass
3. Center Arm Rest Console
4. Light Metal Wheels
5. Uniroyal Tires

My question is, what are the "Light Metal Wheels"? Would they have been Fuchs or Mahle wheels? Or something else other than 5-bolt steelies?

Thanks,

Scott

Well, I looked thru a bunch of COAs in my database and found only 2 references used on COAs to wheels. Most frequent was "Light Metal Wheels" as in your COA and the other reference was to "Full Disk Chrome Wheels" More often than not, there was no reference to what wheels the car came with. There were a very few COAs that specified the size of the wheels and they always seemed to be 14" Light Metal. I guess it would be impossible to determine Fuchs or Mahle wheels from the COA.

In all the COAs there were very few references to tires and no other COA in my database had a mention of Uniroyal Tires. Any mentions of tire brands were usually Michelin or Dunlop. There was one car that its COA said came with Dunlop Racing tires. Very curious.

I didn't count but I probably looked at 50 or so different COAs.
