I just checked his website and cannot find the 17" fake Fuchs he had for sale before...

Does anyone know him...or the story?

There was a thread with a working link to the Fuch's page recently. Here's a search...

If I only had a TON of money, I would be all over those. They look real nice.

I like the 17"X9" RSR wheels.

I have too many bills to pay instead of buying wheels. If I had a 2,000# of cash, there would more than likely be enough left over to buy them.

Thanks John,

I didn't know Lineacorse existed...just subydude.
looks like I can relax now...I was getting worried that these would be discontinued before I sold my other wheels....

$5800 for a set of 4 wheels for a $10,000 914 seems like a lot to me...even $5800 for a set of 4 wheels for a $58,000 car seems like a lot of money to me.

$5800 would ALMOST buy me a 3.6L engine.

Err umm that is $1500 for a set of 4 wheels, or $325 each. Y'all missed out when they did a group buy when they first made the wheels for $1,000-1200 or so (it might even have included shipping).

If you have to have 17's that's cool, but I went with 16" X8" and 16" X9"'s from performance products. They list 7" @ 199.95 , 8" 229.95 , 9" s @ 249.95. I'm very pleased with how light these new wheels are compaired to my 15 year old 15" fakes. Definately an advancement in wheel technology.

Sean,

Like you, I went on the subydude site the other night and could not find them either. I just thought I'd be forced to choose another wheel. Turns out they are still available which is good because I still have mucho work to do before fitting wheels. The last payment on the 3.2 went out in the mail so I'm starting to catch up with you a wee bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hi Chuck,
I was getting worried as I just got all my wheels up on the PCA-UCR classifieds. I need to sell 'em so I can get new ones....and I need the 17" for my Bridgestone RE-01R 245/40R17s......(It sux that the price went up....I wish we made a 245 in 16")

http://www.pcaucr.org/forum/classifieds.jsp?forumid=105

It's relatively warm here this week...the snow is almost gone. The kids do not have any sports tonight... so I plan on pulling the rest of the suspension out after dinner and I'll be ready for chassis cleaning!!!!!

I didn't mention world or any thing else, I just asked if they were still for sale.
Send him and email @
sales@subydude.com

It does seem that wider performance tires in 16" are harder to come by. That is why, like you, I am moving to a 17" rim and tire. Looking at 225 front and 245 rears to fill out the flares.

Did you end up putting the car on a rotisserie for working on the suspension? I pulled the passenger door and started welding the brace before I ran out of MIG gas. If I can get some free time this week during normal business hours, I can pick up some more and also get to work on the rotisserie (got the engine stands). You should start a progress thread.

I think I'm going to go 245/40R17s all around....my theory is that the 914 is pretty well balanced inherently and I can adjust any "unruly" handling characteristics with spring rates, anti roll bars and air pressure. The same shoes on all corners also lets me rotate for wear.

http://www.bridgestonetire.com/tireselecto...?productID=1111

I have not purchased a rotisserie yet...(had to pay for Christmas and the Wife got laid off) but I do have the CFR door braces on the car and the gaps are set.

I am taking pictures of my progress but, I cannot start a thread at this time as I cannot post pictures here. I use my work computer and cannot add the programs necessary to resize. I plan on a new computer for the house, but I'm spending the $ on my 914 first.

How about your progress thread?
