Full Version: What's the difference between these wheels?
Why are the rims on the orange 914 different than the yellow 914's rims? It's like the yellow 914's rims are deeper.
Some early cars had 4 1/2" steelies rather than 5 1/2". Deeper looking wheels on the first car are 5 1/2's.
(When I first got my early '71 in the winter of 70/71 I wanted different "mag" wheels on my car and while I was waiting they just stuck some 4 1/2's on it. Needless to say they weren't impressive.)

Thank you. What are the correct wheels styles for a late 1969 production (1970 M.Y.) 914/4? Basically the earliest cars.
The orange car looks like it has aluminum trim ‘beauty’ rings, a common VW item in the late 60s-early 70s

You can still get them.
