Just put the original wheels back on while the Fuchs are getting polished. I kind of like the retro look.

Steelies are nicer than the painted Fuchs, but I like the polished Fuchs.

I used to like Polished Fuchs, now I'm biased towards the Original Anodized Look

I love steelies

Nice look without the marker lights!

chrome steelies look awesome too

I agree with Troy, chromies on a 914 are sweet!

Is there a source from Chrome Steelies anymore with correct back spacing? I think JBugs used to have them but they say they no longer have them.

I don't care for the painted Fuchs 2.0 alloys at all. The steelies are novel, but tend to "Volkswagen" up the car too much. I LOVE the Porsche 5 lug steelies in dull silver!!!! IMHO

When it comes to 4 lug wheels I prefer Mahles over Fuchs, steelies & Pedrinis. But that's just me.

A better picture of Mahles!

i Love ATS 7"

Steelies!

Steelies rule.

Steelies also look good if you paint the centers black and leave the rims dull silver.

love the steelies. First picture is beautifull

I like the steel wheels, think they give the car an era correct look but tend to also make it look more like a VW but than again I don't care as I love both manufactures...not many 914 cars running these wheels which is kind of sad...I upgraded to a 911 front end and early fuchs...but sometimes wish I could actually go back to the old stock steel wheel look.

Hi,

I have the same painted fuchs on my car and due to the fact my sparewheel is a steel one I am looking to find a fuchs sparewheel.
My car is currently at the shop so I can't check my wheels but will this one fit ?

5.5 x 15 - offset +35 - PCD 4 x 130

ps : I know it is a replica but much better to have this one (if it fits) as a spare than the rusty steel one. Thks for your help (tried search function and ended up here ? must be on the forum somewhere but can't find it)

If your Fuchs are real, the main problem with buying a replica for a spare is that you will have to carry four extra lug bolts. The replicas require a sharply tapered lug bolt while the real Fuchs have more of a ball seat. The pictures below are meant for illustration ... they're not the real bolts

Fuchs are similar to this

A replica will use lug bolts similar to this

Thks, and I believe you are absolutely right.

Ya I know, looked that one up on the internet fast because I didn't want to be too specific:

Chromies on a barn find

When looking for steelie's count the number of holes??? If it's (10) holes, it's for the 914-6 with (5) lugs and the price is triple+++

914-4 steelies have (8) holes with (4) lugs.

LOVE the 911/912 dull silver steelies!!!!!
