914 Wheels
I Looking for a light autocross wheel 7X16 for 205/40/16 tires that will fit under stock fenders on a 914. OR, is there a better autocross setup?
Thanks for any input Ricardo |

Ricardo,
I have 16X8X4 bolt on my car right now. They are american racing rims "black", they are for autoX per "PO of the rims". I have been trying to find some aftermarket rims that are more for show and similar in size and width. I'm not sure if you could tuck these under. |

oh duh,...forgive me...
My car has a Rayco body kit so I'm 8" wider. The tires I have on them now are 275X50X16 . I think I should have re-read your post with your "stock" width statement. Maybe they won't fit.. |

most people run 15" rims (5.5, 6 and 7" in 4 bolt and 5 bolt) since tire selection is much better and due to the rules for a lot of regions (PCA and SCCA)
no 4 lug rims in 16" off the shelf, so you'd have to have some 3 piece rims made...pricey a few 4 lug and 5 lug 15x7 and 17x7 rims are available (200+ each)

I believe that there are one or two manufacturers who do very very small runs of 16" or 17" wheels that wind up with the 914 bolt pattern. You can take a look over on http://www.ttrsracing.com for the "Revolution" wheels, and I wouldn't be that surprised to hear that Panasport has made some in the past.

Panasport makes 4-bolt race wheels too, but the larger sizes are custom and fairly spendy. Beyond 15x6 or 15x7 sizes, it's more attractive for most guys to do a 5-lug conversion and go to 911 wheels.
