I had 'Rick Hart' at Fuchs Restoration do 2 sets, quick turn around and good pricing. I didn't know until now that they had changed ownership to 'Ed McNamee'. Overall quality was very good, but the detailing to the backside of the barrel was less than hoped for. I suppose good enough for anything short of concours.

Thanks Guys for all your Input, It appears that Peter has a great reputation, Even though you can't speak to the man outside the USA. I will get my wheels sent over the next few days to him. Will post pictures once they are done, David

Sounds good David. What's the car?

Hi Bill, im probably in the wrong area, but i thought I'd get the best response here, my car is a 1975 914, its getting a 3.0 6 and I have 914/6 brakes etc. Should be fun. Regards David

[Bill Douglas]

A fun project!

David -- what size tires are you planning to run with these wheels? At least on the 911 front, the selection of performance, but not track-focused, 15" tires is virtually nonexistent. Hope sizing's better on the 914 front

[Bill Douglas]

I know you want 15" but this guy on trademe https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=2567967662 has an expensive but OK-ish set of 16" here in NZ. The anodising looks good and the black could easily be repainted - or repainted to the car's colour.

looks like the 16" Fuchs will likely fit! 914World.com > 16X7 fuchs fit narrow body 914 in rear?
