Need source for 962 style lower A arm for coil over on 914-6. I attached a pic.
Need to replace 8 ea 16" Fuchs/barrels with 18" inexpensive steel or mixed material race wheels. The Fuchs are breaking with 450/500bhp. Sources?

Are you Fuchs real or copies? Fuchs are used on Turbo Carrera’s

Fuchs barrels ?
Are your wheels built up from Fuchs centers ?.....then they're not Fuchs anymore.
High horsepower is breaking front suspension.....and wheels on a 914 ?

They are Fuchs centers in 10.5" and 12.5" x 16" barrels. Two damaged, six ok., want to go to same in 18" due to used time supply, 16" tires are somewhat limited too Hoosiers. Will sell if I find 18s.

Do you have a better picture of that control arm? It looks pretty easy to fabricate from scratch...

Centers, see above. POC Drivers and mechanics say these old Fuchs centers are breaking. My right rear went, car spun 180,snagged pit wall and slapped pit wall hard. Broke bell housing in 4 places, bent rear reinforced swing arm, both axles punched clean holes in the CV joints caps. Front arm was bent by wrapped front wheel. I need a source for the 962 style lower A arm.
So right rear and right front suspension damage, and no cage damage. I have a rear swing arm from this site and a new reinforcement kit.

I have the trans out, working on rear swing arm, so will remove front A arm and steering rack next. Thanks.

Randy Beck built up the car, I've had it 24 years, last complete rebuild, cage replace, body, twin turbo, twin plug, 3.3L, and recently Steve Parker did some venous fabrication and sorted out the EMS, etc. It weighs 1700lbs wet, I'm185.

Thanks! Want to replace all wheels with 18"steel race wheels, as BBS,etc are unreasonable even used.

Centers are Fuchs, barreled are mixed BBS and other, so 3 piece. Wheel broke, spun counter clockwise and smacked pit wall hard.

Fuchs, centers, 3 piece. Want 18", 10 and 12 wide steel race wheels.

Also need source for front lower A arm, 962 type for coil over.

There are basically two really good choices with clickable links above. Elephant racing makes the most
exotic (expensive) version, then there is the Rebel Racing set too. These of course require coiler set-ups,
as you know.

Good luck, and we need a LOT of pictures.
