Can anyone identify these wheels or point me to a good source that shows all the factory wheels that came on these cars?
Thanks.

Full Version: What type of wheels are these?
Hubcaps. Definitely aftermarket
looks like a Formula Vee wheel. if so they have the 'right' backspacing as opposed to most rivieras. the original center caps pressed in from the back side. originals were quite large and can be very hard to source
I agree, aftermarket hubcaps. However, I found this pic over in the O&H forum; different from the one pictured above but... prototype factory hubcap?

Wow, I completely missed the 5th "lug" !
I've NEVER seen them before. If they're reasonable you might just buy them on 'Spec'. I would.
Uhhhh.... those are ugly.

Any owner who sees a 914 with hubcaps has a duty to immediately pull them off and throw them as far as possible.

Those are Volkswagen accessory "Mag Type Wheel Covers" available from the
dealer in the early 70's. They were designed to give your VW that "popular
Sports Car look"!
