I think he's just trying to tell you that factory cookies are either 6" or 7". An 8.5" cookie would be a custom made wheel. Did you have the wheels custom made?

Yea I know, guess the humor got "lost in translation" -

Nope, I did not do it. I found them in the local U-pull-it junkyard. Two were still mounted to a 944 turbo, found one 75 yards away in one direction. Found the other being used as a jackstand for a BMW 1600 (wish I snapped that car when I had the chance!) The check out girl did not have a clue as to what they were. The PO had sprayed them bright silver. She thought they were run of the mill metal rims. Charged me 9 dollars apeice...........Still wish I got the 1600 beemer , oh well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Forgot these wheels I have in the side yard.

They are 5.5 inch wide and have a traditional US mag seat.

To use them I used to use those cheese ass 14mm-1/2" screw in conversion studs.

Someone once told me that they are"Haney Wheels" but I haven't been able to substantiate that.

They looked pretty good on the car, I thought. Just couldn't get enough meat under the fenders.

Didn't Dave Darling used to have a 4 lug page over on the bird? I can't seem to find it now.

I would like to know those lug dimensions for the bolts that Chnis and The Capt have. What up, Mannen (I live in "Das Hood"). you guys got similar nuts? Haw haw.

Really. I'm still looking for lugs for the western wheels I bought a while ago. They neeedd that crazy "washer and bolt" combo w/ 19mm head. Any input? Between the two partial sets and the need reflected above to buy 8 of 12, if the size is right I'll take the rest! 12+15-8=19. Lets see if it will work. Post descriptions/ dimensions for the bolts mentioined as "available" please.

these are mine- havent seen any pics of em anywhere yet- any idea what type?



One of my parts cars had a set of these on it -I still have them. I saw a factory magazine ad for the 914 circa 1971, I believe. They were on the car on the ad -

I thought these were a factory wheel -

Can anybody elaborate??

I have heard them called alternately "Western Wheels" and "Gurney Wheels" and they are definitely not a stock wheel.

Man I like that too. I'm gonna have to try to duplicate that idea as well. Hope you don't mind (like that would stop me...)

Oh- not "Haney" but "Gurney" as in Dan Gurney- he sold his name for a bit of easy $. I would too.

Last time I posted these wheels someone had said that they were Gurney's but I think that may be a result of the face-on photo.

The ones that I have always seen referred to as Gurney's (or Westerns) have curved ribs (see phot from Scott-thundercat), whereas these have flat ribs.

Maybe a different shot will make it clearer. Of course, that doesn't mean that they are not a different Gurney wheel.

I just checked what I had in my records and it was "Hannis Wheel." Not Haney. He's the guy from Green Acres.
