These are awesome! Just need some brown bell bottoms, a paisley shirt, and a Richard Petty mustache to complete the look. But I suppose you could say that about any 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

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...




Actually ATS..... a very good choice.
Missed a set of four with a car attached a few years ago.


Actually not ATS. Cromodora CD 36. As far as I can tell, it's an Italian made magnesium wheel around 11 lbs,.... 14x6 in dimension. Looks like Cromodora makes a lot of wheels for Fiat, Alpha Romeo, and Ferrari.

Cromodora did indeed make wheels for those brands, including Alfa.

Oh, thanks - I hadn't considered that! Yes I think these will be no good for the 914 as backspace is about 100mm and offset 19mm. Back on eBay with them.....

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.


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.

I stand corrected.
They are so similar it is easy to be mistaken.
Google it and a set of ATS comes up on Pelican sold in 2014.
Notice the placement of the valve.

Well ATS is a wheel manufacturer and thay make the Cookie Cutters Porsche used for so many years.
They also made a wheel that looks like those pictured.
I can see the marking on the wheels on the car pictured to tell who made them.

But it is clear in this picture that it is an ATS wheeel that looks the same or very similar.

Not to beat a dead horse, but the car is currently for sale on the North Port, FL craigslist and the owner clearly states the wheels are Cromodoras. Yes, ATS does make rims, and the ones pictured are very similar.

As previously stated, the valve stem is in a different place...there are other slight differences....I think the spokes are wider on the Cromodoras. The Cromodora is also a 6" wide wheel, instead of the 5.5. I haven't researched the ATS wheels, but magnesium is pretty light weight, so I doubt the ATS wheels are as light. Down side, the cd 36's appear to be only 14" and are probably hard to find. Took the following pic and info off the autobelle website.

"N. 1 circle cromodora to the magnesium, model CD36, Daytona, for cars volskwagen porsche 914, lance fulvia coupe hf zagato and vw maggiolone.Measure 6x14 ets 23, attack 4x130.Usato, edges and rolling ok.European 80 not tratt.Whells rims felgen llantas jantes.Info 3472511545"

From Revolution this A.M.

We can only supply the following wheels for 914 at present:

6.0 x 15 ET 30 8 Spoke in silver

In 6-8 weeks’ time we will also be able to offer of CR10 in the following sizes:

15 x 7.0 ET 35 CR10 in matt black
16 x 7.0 ET 35 CR10 in matt black

Sorry, the 5 Spoke won’t fit as the offset is not high enough.

With best regards.

My first car was a 914 with American Racing Lemans wheels running a set of low profile fulda tires. It looked AWESOME.
The real bummer is that I don't have even a single picture. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)
