Math ug...

1"=25.5mm

It's 50mm et now.
plus 3" spacer 76.5mm
If i move it back to a 1" spacer and a 0et, I would be just outside the current location by .5mm

0 ET calculations.
-76.5mm + 50mm = 26.5mm
1" spacer = 25.5mm
leaving 1mm difference, ( can live with that but not much more)

-26.5mm ET calculations
-76.5mm + 50mm = -26.5mm

So, if you're still reading.
either 0mm ET
or -26ish ET

The deeper the better...

Yes, this!

I'm at 8x18 and 11x18 right now.
I'm thinking 10x18 square for track tires. But we'll see what turns up..

I love those wheels! They are the right look. deep dish, choice of finish, and best of all not 1000+ each...

But.....
They are for BMW.
Why can't they make the exact wheel in 5x130....

Still, I'm going to call them...

Thanks for the find

Dan - There are "non-bimmer" options...my old car. These use the 16" Fuch centers and then are converted...Lindsey Racing I believe? AFAICR...

Staggered wheel widths are better for handling with a big high powered engine in a 914.

I like the look of your car, nice classic styling race car.
There are several I would go for, but I'll have to find them second hand.

I like the wheels you are posting, but it's too rich for my blood.
I guess I need to monitor the used market for deals.

My short term solution may be to get a couple "stockers" to replace the bent front wheels and keep my eyes open for a deal on some track wheels.

I really wanted to go with a square setup as a way to get the most out of my tires. Being the fastest at my autocross track isn't my goal. There are some blazing fast EMods out there. Track days would be the other big use of the car.

One of my biggest goals is to Not be 'that guy' that screams down the straight and then slows down for the corners and holds everyone up.

Ahh you mean like me? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm pretty sure your skill will overcome that quickly once your used to the car..

I would say patience and lots of Craigslist/eBay watching will turn something up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You can always call them and see if they are interested in sponsorships.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The wheels you are looking for need to be custom built to fit your car. The only way to get what you need is a 3 piece wheel. Now for the bad news there are no used wheels available in your needed size and ET. Viable options would be BBS, or CMW used of course but do not be surprised you will still need to buy some new inner and outer rims as the sizes/ET is special for your car. I build Speedline wheels and make custom sizes for the 930/911 wide body, 965/964RSR, 993/TT/GT2 cars. I have a Techart Daytona centers available for a custom build. My sets are however around $4,000 using the Daytona centers. I am attaching a picture of a set I built.Attached Image

Not exactly what you want, but comes with tires, and a decent deal...

Edit: just noticed it's an auction. Will likely blow your budget.. those wheels are expensive....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) but I would toss in a crazy price bid and see, if it goes over it goes over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Those look nice, but I'm going to keep looking and try not to jump into anything to quickly. I have some time to be picky.

I installed the BMW suspension on my buddies car. He loved it. Low and tight. Tomorrow I get to lay hands on the Porsche. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Dan,

A big thank you for buying and rebuilding the Screamsicle. I helped Paul with the car for about 6 years. I am also the purveyor of the Gas Can.

I fixed many systems on the car but never got the chance to fully refine them. I'm a bit anal about certain things, i.e. how it looks or can it be simpler. A good example in the "octopus". Once we figured out all the issues with the old one, I build the one on the car from scratch that was stronger and simplified. If you keep the same basic setup around the clutch and brake masters, I'd be more that happy to make a version 2.0 of the carbon fibre mini skid.

Good lucky in the project and I can't wait to see the finished project. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

--Matt
