So, who's got the biggest rims on their 914?
im looking at running 17's, possibly 18's and would like to see pics and modification pics
what would need to be done to get these on my car?

what makes you want to run such big wheels, bling effect? Otherwise, if you are interested in performance, consider the weight of the wheel, and wheel/tire combo. I dunno how much those wheels weigh you are looking at, but 18s can be pretty heavy.
I run 16s just to get the smaller tire diam I want in the really large width, otherwise I would run 15s. Just need enough to clear the brakes IMO. My wheel and tire combo is about 37lbs at 16x10 and 16x11 for instance. The wheels had thick-walled barrels so they were about 18lbs. I was hoping for 16lbs when I ordered them...
Most of the 17" wheels in the 8-10 width is around 17-18lbs, 18" get around 19-20lbs and 20" wheels would not fit the 914 right.
username wberthgo (Bill) has 18" late-model wheels on his and it looks nice, but that is as big as you would want to go IMO. Do a search and I am sure you will find pix of his car.
