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

So to me I see some illogical conclusions being drawn here. First there is no mention of 14 or 15 inch wheels...however if the car came with fuchs they are 14....
If it came with mahle ( gas burners ) they are 15.
I have two COAs
The 70 car does not mention wheels but has Fuchs ( I know that is inconclusive)
The 71 states "light metal wheels" and they are 15" Mahles
According to Brett Johnsons book the cars either came with:
Steel painted 5 1/2 x 15" chromed optional
Fuchs 5 1/2 X 14"
Mahles 5 1/2 X 15 ( ( @ 10 lbs)
M471 6 X 15 Fuchs
I am fairly certain light metal is the Mahle.
Just my 3 cents
