I bought a set of stock steel rims that have been modified.
The rim centers have been removed and welded into a 7x15 wheel ring with a 5" backspace.

$12.50 each (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Now, let's talk about the finish.

I've started media blasting them and we painted one today.

I'll take a picture for you tomorrow or maybe Mark will post one tonight.

They are a bright red metallic.
Kinda wild looking. The Hoosiers should like 'em.

I really like the idea of widened stock 4 lug rims. Now just add Muellers' front custom hubs as found on the Club Store and you can run 911 vented disks in front.

Sleeper traction and brakes.. now all you need is one of Raby's motors for the "Superman-VW" version of the "VW"/Porsche 914.....


Very cool.

Yeah those are cool. I bet they're kinda heavy for the average
914, but you should have the power. Did anybody weigh them?
The Diamond steelies are listed at 23 pounds (7x15). My 6x15
cookies are about 14 pounds.

I'm going to get one tire mounted for a test fitment.

22#'s each...

The remaining three are blasted, and base coated right now.

Gotta get the car off the trailer, the wheels off, red coat on the the wheels, tires mounted and balanced- by 6:00pm (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

I think those are the wheels that Roger Grubb should have bought for his V8 car.....too late now.....

Killer price, the set of identical rims that is on Jennys car cost me like $100 plus shipping and I think I sold them to her for like $80 or so.....

I do have a spare 15x7 just like those (in silver, hahaha), if any one is interested....make sure you inspect those wheels, I've seen cracks devolop on the lug nut seating portion.

I'm pretty sure "Stockton Wheel" will do these for not a whole lot of money.
