in my eyes, this is the best picture to show the difference between the "deep six" ("Old" Fuchs) and "flat six" (New" Fuchs)

What is the backspacing needed for a 914? I'm looking for some 7x15 and 8x15 wheels and I see 2 backspaces: 112mm and 138mm.

Great pic gustl! Would not have gotten it otherwise! So $1600 for a refinished set without center caps is a good deal then?

Regards, James Hey James...I guess my estimate for a set of deep was light...out of my price range either way. I could of won a real nice set of deep ones off ebay for 1800 not too long ago, but I stopped being interested when the price climbed over 1200. I bought of set of matched 16X6, 16 X 7 78 fuchs fully polished for $700 and the guy delived them in Ventural at the Ventura show. I'm very happy with them.
