I finally got around to putting my old Momos on the car.
What do you guys think?

I LOVE it, just the way it appears. The entire World does not always love GT flares.

Clean! I'm a huge fan of the narrow body look too, so don't change a thing!

Nice... I'm a fan of the 914 and personal choice. Narrow body, flared, it's all good to me. Wheels look good too!

sits real nice. did you put spacers on the front or just bigger tires?

The tires are 205 60 15 Falken Ziex ZE-912.
These are a 4x130 Momo 5-1/2 x 15 wheel standard 914 offset.
My profile pic has a set of yellow pedrinis with autocross/track tires and my fuchs usually wear 205 50 15 RT615's.
I changed to these because I was tired of the gearing being wrong with the 50 series tires.
I have 3 sets of rims with tires, Momos, Fuchs and Late Steels. Just depends on the westcoast weather and I try to keep the car ready to drive year round.

Lol... I was just gonna say I have a black set of those wheels up in the barn since I'm switching to 5-lug. They do look nice though. :-)

I think these Momo wheels look great! Does anyone know how much one weighs? Are they cast or forged? Do they use a ball seat lug bolt or something different?

Beautiful wheels!
20 years ago I had a set on my dual carbed Beetle. I never see those around but it looks like some of the members have partial sets, if I wasn't converting to 5 lugs I would look for those.
Nice car!

They are cast Aluminum. With a 205 60 15 they weigh about the same as a fuch with 205 50 15 rt615's. maybe a little lighter. They use regular long bolts.
I have 3 bent ones, they arent very tough wheels. I'm going to try some different paint scemes and will post pics to vote on. I tried solid black and thry look like crap.
