New Wheels
Like my new wheels?
![]() OK, there are not Fuchs, but they are new and shiny and fitted the budget (about $70/piece). Apperantly they are the correct back spacing as they fit the rear fenders with 1/4 inch clearance. Neal |

Yeah I like 'em fine!
![]() Hope that worked! Darn, it didn't! Anywho, I think Empi's look good on a 914. Ed Last edited by WOODPIE; 05-08-2003 at 08:00 PM.. |

what did you have before? The stock steel wheels? Alot of guys on here look down on puttin empis on 914's but personally I think if the price is right then go for it as long as it fits. I like empis, too bad a 5 spoke won't fit on a 914....

That's how Porsche drivers get the snob stereotype! It's your car, if you want to put wagon wheels on it, go for it. I've always been partial to polished 8 and 5 spoke Empi's. I like!

The car had steel wheels when I bought it. I replaced them in temporary lack of good judgement with used Rivieras of the wrong size (5 inch wide). To make matters worse, one of the Rivs was machined off center and impossible to balance .
