What do you think the best looking four stud wheels on a narrow body 914 are? Fuchs? Mahle? American Racing?

Minilites painted an appropriate color.

15x7 steelies


Those look G R E A T. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Are the fenders pulled out or is the off-set such that they just fit?

Thanks!

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.

I'm a fan of the Minilites too, but the Revolutions are good looking too. Recently saw this car on Craigslist for sale, and I really like these. They are called Cromodoras...
