Thanks. Do u like the wheels on your teener?
PS - fitment on late hubs should be OK - so long as they have the groove on the back to receive the hubcentric lip, otherwise a machine shop can cut them into all wheels to ease tire rotation, flat changes, etc.

I agree with Gothspeed on the lugs, fitment-wise, you may find that some wider tires may rub - I did with the early 195/65HR15s when turning full lock-to-lock.
IN late 75 when I bought mine 3 years old, mine had original Rivs on my early `73 914-2.0 "914 S" - which should have had the 2L Fuchs, but the PO or dealer had swapped them (I have a set of Fuchs 2Ls to go on after my resto).
It didn't bother me then, because it gave the 914/4s a 5-lug look with 5 spoke design, without doing a 5-lug conversion, which wasn't done AFAIK in the 70s on /4s. However, they are heavier than Steelies, Mahle 4-lug, Pedini or Fuchs 2L wheels. I still like the look....

Since the original Rivs don't have outer lips (which is how you can tell original from repops - see pic below), the tire shops must use stick-on weights.
There is a guy "TheAdante" on TheSamba & evilBay from San Antonio & a few other vendors who sell the proper size plasti-chrome cone center caps, but they won't have the "double-r" logo in the center in my pic below - although you can get Porsche crests for them.
Mine are the brushed aluminum finish - rather than polished - so they were more of a PITA to keep looking nice with the salty sea air oxidation, then living just blocks from the beach in Hunt. Bch. back then.
