I just bought these to refurb. Just a different option from the original steels. They have 'Rocket' on the back but no idea about them.

I don't think there's a Porsche 15" wheel that doesn't look good on a 914, steel or alloy, the 4 star steelies are my least favorite though.
My personal preference for a narrow body car though, is the 4 lug 914 Fuchs, original finish or fully polished. I'm a little on the old school side so I like shiny wheels. If you paint the recessed areas black on 4 lug Fuchs, we can't be friends.... just kidding, it's your car make it how you like, not how I like. |

Look like empi's - careful on offset; there were as I recall VW and porsche offsets available. VW offset is higher and does not allow as wide tires as the porsche. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) but the yellow painted 2.0 Fuchs on the Japanese LE are pretty cool. Attached image(s) |
