Other than the factory wheels what are available in either 5.5 or 6 inch width with correct back spacing for a stock body 914?
Thanks, Mark |

correct back spacing, eliminates the empi style and riviera style. Not many wheels are made for the 914 that are reasonable and with the correct back spacing.
Fuchs reproduction wheels have it Mahle gas burner reproduction wheels have it a guy now makes 7 x17 inch wheels with the correct back spacing as well These days, most are installing the original wheels on their 914s as they are the best. One neat thing is to obtain , bead blast and powder paint the original 74-76 stock steel wheels that are date stamped. Other than the factory wheels what are available in either 5.5 or 6 inch width with correct back spacing for a stock body 914? Thanks, Mark |

George, The original run of Rivieras like on mine were the correct 914 back spacing. They would've been a 1972 run, because the original new sold dealer put them on & took off the 2L Fuchs when the OO got it in Nov 72. Rivs were an easy way to get the 5-spoke look without hub conversion back in the day. It was later runs that went to one generic VW-914 back spacing, & IIRC that was on the later repops with the lip for balancing weights. Those will sit tight on the rear fenders unless "rolled". Yes - I do now have a nice set of 5 restored Fuchs 2Ls to go back on for concours & when originality matters.
