I tend to agree that cookies look the best on a 914, but you need that 5 lug setup to run them.

4 lug? Fuchs, Mahle or minilites,
5 lug? Fuchs, 15'', or 16 but even the 14's are nice too. 16x6'' on mine


Side note - love the Copper Metallic

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


Loved the ATS Wheel on my white '74. Imported them from Germany at the time. There still on the car today.

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.


Interesting.... I replaced the stock wheels on my '71 Volvo (P)1800E - which were called "Cloverleafs", they were magnesium centered and riveted Cromodoras. I replaced them with the wheels being discussed which were definately ATS. So the question is - do (did) both wheel companies do the same wheel?

(If I can beat the dead horse even more) Maybe I can clear is up... My 1971 Volvo (P)1800E had these wheels as stock. They we're magnesium centers with large hiden rivet attaching em to the rim. They were marked inside as ATS AND CROMODORA . So ATS is the manufacturer and Cromo are the style, is my understanding.


Well I don't know what the wheel model or style is of the ATS wheel that I posted a picture of but it is clearly not the same wheel as Craig posted. They are both one piece cast wheels with similar design. The picture I posted shows ATS and what I think is 5.5 15 for size. Craig's picture shows cromodora and what looks like 14 6J for size.
I'm sure ATS makes or made many different wheel model/styles over the years just as Fuchs and BBS and any other wheel manufacturer did. ATS made the Cookie Cutters for 911s and 944s, the ATS wheel I and others pictured here and the wheel you just described.
I would guess there have been names that were similar or even the same as well. My Audi S4 had Fuchs on it from the factory and I still have a set of Audi BBS wheels that came with the S4.

Well, I like many different types of wheels, but my favorites are those that came from Porsche...
