What rims are these are the 914 rims that came as a option or are they aftermarket? Are they worth anything? I dont know if I should keep them or sell them. I think I want to my 8 spoke empi style rims on. But I dont know they are starting to grow on me.

Western wheels IIRC. Why are you missing a lug bolt?
dr914@autoatlanta.com
these are the old american racing wheels. popular as an add on when the cars were sold new. not worth much as they have an outset like a vw beetle and will not fit the widest tire.

LUG BOLT the guy sold the car to me like that I had to drill and tap it out it was fouled up so I fixed it.

A local custom wheel and tire shop has a set on display. Shop has been there for 40 years. Owner says they are Dan Gurney signature Westerns. He even has the center caps for them. I have same on my car. 205/60's fit just fine.

If they do say Dan Gurney are the worth more? Are they easy to polish out like you did on the orange 914 those look good. What did you use to polish them out?
