What do you think the best looking four stud wheels on a narrow body 914 are? Fuchs? Mahle? American Racing?

Revolution are my personal favorite.

Fuchs....

Real 5 bolt fuchs, 15 or 16 inch X 6, unfortunately they're no longer cheap.
Or real 4 bolt fuchs, until you have held a tire and a forged fuchs rim in your hands you won't believe how light they are.

Stock Fuchs in factory finish is my preference.

These:

For 4 lug I like the panasports and Mahle wheels

These are my original steel wheels that I painted. Look ok if not too close!

It's hard to beat the look of Fuchs on an aircooled Porsche

I really like Mahles.

I did this to a '74 I had in the early 80s. Looked great on the car.

For 4 lug, it's tough to beat the early steel wheels...




But I think the best looking wheels on a 914 are the classic 5 lug Fuchs...

Looks like we have a winner in 4 bolt Fuchs!

Thanks for the response and pictures and, well, everything.

And I love Enkei's

Four lug? Hard to beat the factory Fuchs in standard finishes or original Minilites. Then again, tires can really sell a wheel on an NB 914—I seem to recall an orange 914-4 track car slammed on a set of late steelies with gray lips, black centers, and 205/50s (or similar) that looked fantastic.

Five lug? Depends on the car a bit, but I think deep sixes or 7Rs are the ones...

15" 5 bolt fuchs and 15" cookies, 2nd pic is the 4 bolt EMPI Sprint Stars rims that came on my car. I liked the look, but they were heavy steel, the Sprint Star repops are aluminum.
BTW the 914 with fuchs and the 914 with sprint stars is the same car, quite a colour difference between cameras.

Fuchs......that is all!

If the Fuchs need to be refurbished, Al Reed is amazing.

+1

I'll cast my vote for Minilites or similar. Dont care for the 4 lug Fuchs at all.

Minilites, Fuchs are just too played out and not worth the money people are asking for them these days.

Those are good looking wheels Wes.

I have no idea as to the manufacturer of these wheels, but I like them a lot. Bet they are a bear to keep clean, though.

Look like campagnolo. Rare to see but a great looking wheel on a 914.

Thanks I thought so to!

15x7 custom Mahle's

5 lug Fuchs for a narrow body.

Real minilites, in the 5 bolts the panosports and other place a lug hole in the spoke. Looks like Only a real minilite did it right.

After that Mahle gas burners

I do have a soft spot for 944 cup magnesium phone dials, I have this odd for Magnesium wheels

@914forme

We have a bunch at the shop including 15x10 & 15x12. I think they came from a crashed 911ST.

Those look G R E A T.

Are the fenders pulled out or is the off-set such that they just fit?

Thanks!

I just bought these to refurb. Just a different option from the original steels. They have 'Rocket' on the back but no idea about them.

I don't think there's a Porsche 15" wheel that doesn't look good on a 914, steel or alloy, the 4 star steelies are my least favorite though.

My personal preference for a narrow body car though, is the 4 lug 914 Fuchs, original finish or fully polished. I'm a little on the old school side so I like shiny wheels.

If you paint the recessed areas black on 4 lug Fuchs, we can't be friends.... just kidding, it's your car make it how you like, not how I like.

Good looking wheels Yo!

No. I sure like mine.

Look like empi's - careful on offset; there were as I recall VW and porsche offsets available. VW offset is higher and does not allow as wide tires as the porsche.
