everyone knows slantnoses are faster

maybe so but it doesnt look as well. besides put a little more power in a regular 914 and u wont have to convert to slantnose.

true but as long as we all like how we have personalized are 914s. i personally like the 916 look. i dont like the idea of cutting up the front end like they do with those chalon kits. but as long as we like wut we have and can defend y we did it its cool.

Some have very strong feeling against the chalon kit too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Just be happy that most of them keep their opinions to themselves.

We don't mind even if you don't have a normal one. At least I don't. Your green 914 looks very nice though. It was a good find (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

looks like empis.

close but not quite.....Panasports and the newer wheels like Gint have are very similar....and Panasports are a very close clone of Minilites.

These wheels look like the original Empis from the 70s

Nope, there is a specific year of 944 that has the perfect offset. They are 24mm and 15mm IIRC. I can recheck. I am running 17X7 with 225/45 in front and 17x9.5 rear with 255/45. I didnt want to use adapters. I have 5 lug conversion parts and a 911 front. I have 2 sets of drilled rear rotors if anyone is interested ($100 ea + ship).


wow, i've never wanted to go to 5 bolt becouse it always seemed that youd have to flare with those chubbies... guess not 9.5 on the rear? did you have to pull the fenders much, it looks minimal.

the rotors must for 5 bolt, right?

I have about 2-2.5" of flare blended in to the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Rotors are drilled 4 lug to 5, but you can use /6 if you want.
