Make sure you get a lug centric balance as they are lug centric wheels.

If they are TRUE early Pedrinis they will not fit. Early cars had what is referred to Lug-Centric wheel centering. Meaning the lug bolts were what centers the wheel on the hub/spindle. Starting in 72 (IIRC) 914s came with Hub-Centric wheel centering which means the wheel has a specially machine relief which perfectly fits over a raised portion in the hub/rotor and centers the wheel. Early Pedrinis do not have the hub-centric relief and will not fully seat on the hub. They will bolt up and to the untrained eye, they will look right, but they are a safety hazard and should not be used.
There are 1972 Pedrini's which have the relief and will work. |

Look at the OE on the wheel.....
Ends in 00 .... early, won't fit late front hubs (lugcentric) Ends in 01 ... late, will fit late front hubs (hubcentric - center hole is bigger) |

Early rotors have a different offset. Early rotor only work with early struts and early brake calipers.
You can machine the hub-centric ring off late rotors though. |

The answer is this - bogus! So, why not fit a bogus wheel that will work without modification. They're out there. Why try to hide that fact that you aren't original? The gurus will know. The newbies won't. Wrong! Pat |
