&
m401 / Schwarz (black)
The 50 series tire option was for the tires ONLY . And the accompanying Speedo has it's own part number. If you have your original , look at the number up in the face edge at the top. If a 76MY C3 , came with the 50 series tire option (m395). It will have speedo :
930 641 501 00 , the accompanying notation in DE PET is 'KM/H 300 für Reifen / 50' .
The standard speedo for 70 & 60 series tires is 930 641 532 00 , the accompanying notation in DE PET is 'KM/H 300 für Reifen / 60' .
And you might have been able to special order them....but in the DE market price list dated sept 1 , 1975 . There is no option listed for 6" & 7" fuch wheels (leichtmetalfelgen geschmiedet is the factory term) for a C3. Or are they listed as available on the price list for any of the 3 models.
The only other wheel option listed is m400 , which is : '4 leightmetalfelgen 6jx15, geschmiedet , mit Reifen 185/70VR15'. This is noted for 911 only.
So I do not know what to say.. You would think they would be available , but they are not listed. My take is that the factory probably figured that most people , if ordering up from cookie cutters , would want the wider wheel. That way , wider tires could be used at a later date.
This info as noted is from the DE language price list , so this is applicable to at least the DE home market. If not most ROW markets (UK countries , seem to be the normally the most differant Market).

Don't know where you are getting you wheel info but you are
wrong this info is all in the owners manuals and all the shop manual as well
here's pg 62 of my owners manual
I'll check the speedo when I get time, but the difference is in the internal calibration, any N. Hollywood can change the it if you want
here's p19 w/ the gauge info
