Yup, so are there any 4 lug wheels out there to fill out a flared car? Has anyone used 4 luggers on a flared car? How did you do it, and do you have any pics?

Here is what i would do. I know this can be done too because he offered to do it for me. Take a set of 4 lug Fuchs and send them to Harvey Wiedman. Tell him how wide you want them. He will widen them and refinish them and all you have to do is write a check for more than your car is worth... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Just kidding! But it will be a big big check.

I had these custom Pedrinis. They were built into 16x8's and 9's IIRC. Don't ask me who made them. I bought them on ebay and I never used them. I ended buying a car with a good 5 lug conversion. They were really nice. I sold them to a club member, maybe he will chime in.

You can get the 4 lug wheels from JC Whitney for cheap. They have many sizes available.

My ax car has 15 x 8 four lugs fake Centerlines. The look like the ones in Andy's pic above. Good luck finding a set. But you may try Thesamba.com wheel classifed section. There is a whole bunch of crazy 4-lug stuff on there.

good job! We are having made in australia some custom four lug 914-4 factory fuchs for flared and stock applications in 7x16 8x16 and 9x16 Pictures coming soon! The ones I have seen are very exciting and should give us all a cheap but high quality wheel to put on our 914s. As you probably know American Eagle has recently discontinued their 5.5x15 fuchs repro so this one will come just in time

George,
Any idea when you are likely to have those and what the pricing might be?
