15x7 Fuchs Painted Dark Metallic Gray. I think Cookie Cutters look better, but not as strong or light.

Edited and now including pic:

There is a 914 specific 4x130 alloy wheel that may not be the best looking but are definitely one of the most funtional. Back around '82-83 there was an outfit called "Specialty Racing Wheels" who made a set of 15x7 wheels for 914's with different offsets for fronts and rears, #M7C. They were a two piece modular wheel. They sort of look like a cross between 8 spoke Empis, Minilites and HRE's, but the center portion was more prominent/raised. They were on a few VW & Porsche Magazine 914 project cars back in the early 80's and a European Car mag project car in April '83.

I had a 73 2.0 with these wheels and 215/60/15's fit under stock fenders w/ no problem. I later sold that 2.0 to TC.

Here's a a pic of them from a 2010 VW & Porsche 914 project article.

Picture of my 6 number 41 from the ebay ad I bought it from in 2007. It had 3-piece BBS wheels in 8 x15 I flared and went to 7 and 8 x 16 inch Factory Fuchs with 911 part numbers.

Sold the wheels to Jamie in Washington.

A Picture of Haralds car (green one) with 951 factory Fuchs in rear 8 inch x 16 inch with the angle of photo I like best.

And picture of my 6 now with 7 and 8 x16 inch factory Fuchs 911 part numbers.

A picture of my 1974 2.0 factory black waiting to put the 79 911SC Engen in for the 6 conversion. Factory Mahle "gas burners" 15in. These wheels where fantastic with 195x15 P6 Pirelli tires. Picture of first daughter in car around 1984. Note my 70 challenger convertible. Hemi Orange ( picture is Black and white and a bit screwed up from time in the box.

last picture of the 951 factory Fuchs 8 inch x 16 inch that I have for sale in the parts section. I was going to use them on my stock body 74 blue V8 car but changed that to a big 4
