American Racing Wheels...to the best of my knowledge
Believe they were called "American Libre" or "American Daisy" Cool wheel...should be cast aluminum....weight, I don't know At the price I see, they shouldn't bitch....if you could find a set, that's what Pick-A-Part would charge for them (maybe $35 a wheel). New "fake" ones should be about $120 each from www.performanceproducts.com I've been know to tell lies though! |

I've had a couple of sets. I like the way they look. They had a 5 spoke/5 bolt version, too. Fairly light, and they take special lug bolts. The Cap'n

I have those on my '72 thanks to the PO. The inside is painted GOLD, as well as the PORSCHE badge in the center cap. The PO clained the center caps were from a 911 - mine look the same as yours. They shine up real nice (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
The PO of course told me they were VERY desirable and worth lots of $$$$ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Can't say I have any more details than what the Cap'n said - they use different lug bolts than stock 914 wheels. With 195/55s on my 15 in. rims, there is NO room for a bigger tire (with stock fenders). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

American Racing Libre wheels, also were very popular on the Datsun roadsters in the late 60s and early 70s (pre 240z)....decent wheels, don't give em away.....
