Thats it, I had to check it. And of course the wife said : Problem with the Porsche again.


I just did pull one off the car and there are no number or anything in the back. No obvious soldering either. Tires are 195/50R15. The paint would be original if it would be a GM. And it came with the red lettering when I bought it a few months ago.

Thanks for all you comments. Next time I will post a pic of the wife and you can post you modifications suggestions .

they cut out the center and weld it into a wider rim.
they usually don't splice the rim and add material ...

I think they are designed after the mini-lite wheel

I really liked these wheels as a wider 4-lug solution. They are very light and strong, too.

because they're EXACTLY (down to the stamping on the back) like the wheels the bugs (02 and 03) came with in the early/mid seventies ...

i had 5 or 6 of those (bugs) and they all came with those wheels in 5 1/2" wide and the big chrome centercaps.
and all the bug guys look for those with different ET or widened ...

I trust you Andy, the majority of parts on the 914 is robbed from the VW bin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

My point is, whether the 914 was originally equipped with either a "Porsche" or a "VW" part is irrelevant. Just call it a 914 part so that the poor guy knows that is okay to have them. Because, let's face it, everybody is trying to deny the VW background of the 914.

Yes they are different. Looks are deceiving. If the empi's were lighter, stronger, available in 15 by 7 inches with 4 and 7/8 inch backspacing, and were made better, I probably would have bought the Empis

I got the Panasports for racing.

Nice car, BTW. I like the 916 front bumper. Particularly in the second picture the chrome wheels look good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Thanks Anton. The only problem with the front bumber is that it is half an inch larger than the fenders. Doesn't look right.

Honestly, I prefer the look of the 914-6 GT with the opening for the front oil cooler.

Serge's car looks really, really nice.

If it were mine, I would reinstall black bumpers with the oil cooler outlet or chrome bumpers to match the wheels. You're right, the 916 bumper looks a little odd without the bigger finders in this case. In some cars it looks okay.

Overall.. it's a really nice looking ride!

Any interior pics?

Thanks but this is nothing compare to your project
Being optimistic, I would say there is room for improvement.
The floor will need some attention ( POR 15 ) but I am not planning to put any carpets.
I will leave the door panels without armrests, GT style.
