which wheels for '69 912?

She came stock with steelies and currently rides on cookies.
I have steelies dated 1970, 1969 14" Fuchs and 1973 15" Fuchs.
I am leaning toward the 14" Fuchs with lowish profile tires.
She will be a daily beater couple trips a week to work.
What do you guys think?

15" fuchs. The 69 doesn't look right with the 14's due to the fender flares, IMHO

Better choices in 15" tire size.

Thanks for the opinion guys. Kinda figured they were the preferred, especially after ~10+ hours restoring the 14s!!

chrome & yellow look great together. I vote for the steelies!

Hey,
Do you want to sell your 14" Fuchs? If so let me know.

I think my '69 with the 14" Fuchs looks great. I was surprised to find they were 14". Considered to provide a more "luxury" too, if you give a damn about that. Please to provide a photo if interested... but I think it is in my profile.
