I'm looking at my car lately and thinking i might keep the gt style steels that are currently rolling the shell around.

I have a set of riviera alloys and both types need restoring. I'm just not sure which to go for.

What 4 lug wheels are you running? Any pics for ideas?

What year is your 914? I would try and find a stock alloy wheel for your 914.

Vintage 4 bolt Revolution 15 x 7

Nice rims. ? Cool graffiti too.

It's 1974 model but as it was stripped to near bate shell before i bought it keeping it original would be too expensive and quite a bit of hassle. There are few spares over here for it. When all charges are taken into account when buying from usa, the cost soon starts to spiral.

I love your car and those rims

I like the Riviera alloys I partially restored. Personally I like the Centerline rims on the 914.

sport steelies, though less unsprung weight is touted to be better. for highway driving, they are fine.

I have a set of rusted out steelies I will give to anyone in Colorado Springs area wishing to pick them up locally. No shipping, they need alot of restoration but free.

I've got a set of Dan Gurney wheels. 15x5.5 I do like them but I manly got them because they were local and a good price. First choice would be 5 lug Fuchs.

Super cool!!!

I need these in my life.
Really nice

All good looking wheels/cars. Think i'm leaning towards the rivieras for mine. Possibly use the steels if i take it out in the winter/autum months.

Guys running the bigger / wider rims, what have you done to accomodate the rims? Steering/suspension etc?

My 6.5 x 15 Minilites run 195/65s with no problem on my stock 76. I probably could have fit 205s but didn't try.

2 liter Fuchs refinished by Al Reed...

Not sure if it applies to me since my wheels are 5.5" narrow.
But I am running 205/60-15 so here goes...

They fit alright with the stock fender/lip.


I'll need to roll the inner lip to prevent rubbing though.

How much did that cost and how long did it take? They look great. I bought a set that is not even close to that.

Cookie cutters I wanted Fuchs but the cookie cutters are kind of growing on me and they are just as light as fuchsClick to view attachment

i have riviera wheels and steelies and just ordered new tires. i am thinking of sporting the steelies. i really love the minilites but they are out of the budget at this time.

yes this are the best looking wheels for 914 for sure

Maybe I'm behind the times, but what in the world are sport steelies?
In layman's terms, simply widen stock steel wheels??.

7x15 ATS Cookie Cutters with 195-55-15 tires.

Love the ATS Wheel. got mine direct from Germany many years ago. Unfortunately in a weak moment sold this car along with the wheels. Stupid me. The ATS wheel is out of production now. Wish I could get a decent again.

I know that it gets expensive doing the five lug and buying the wheels, but 15" Fuchs look very good on a 914 IMHO.

Looks like reading comprehension may be heading toward a one legged A.

"What 4 lug wheels are you running? Any pics for ideas?"

I have some GOOD late steelies that I'll give away to anyone who shows up in SW Oklahoma.

Here are Mahle's on my '76 LE wannabe.

I'm running steelies with trim rings. Not my favorite set up, but they came with the car and I haven't gotten around to changing them yet (it's only been ten years). I guess I'm waiting for a set of Pedrinis to magically appear in the garage.

Four Lug 15x7 Mahles

Nice except for the way too long wheel studs

I ran black/polished 2.0 Fuchs when I had a 4-bolt setup.
Always thought it looked sharp...and really looked great on the black car of the guy I sold them to.

Its not a wannabe. The LE's were for marketing and you can market your 76 anyway you want.

No he is just prepared for flairs and wheel spacers.
