So, looking at options for 2nd set of rims and tires

What is stock off-set?

What do different wheels weigh?

4 lug fuchs?

15X5.5 steel?

Mahles?

etc etc?

Would thee fit? 15# is this heavy? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-PORSCHE-...ultDomainQ5f100

If you do get those wheels , make sure you get the lug bolts that match the 60 deg. tapered bolt seats mentioned in the ad , I don't believe that the 914 lug bolts will work well , some one correct me if I'm wrong , 914's are ball seated lug bolts.
Good luck ...

Western Turbine 15 X 5.5 = 16lbs

Don't know what that listed backset code is. The mtg site might tell. These wheels are car Backset specific. VW or 914. Not both.
They really look good on a 914.

Looks like offset is 4 9/16" for 914 and 4" for VW
