Nice work Phil.I always enjoy your updates on this.

Thanks chaps.
I’m kind of glad I’ve carried on with the Empi’s as well.

Well a year to the day since I went down to Wimbledon to buy my 914 and this afternoon I completed the tidy up. https://s14.postimg.org/8f6kzmeap/10_EA6_A09-_D60_E-41_ED-8_BDE-2_DC55_BAAAFC6.jpg https://s14.postimg.org/mlmbv0229/143_DF3_EC-64_DD-43_A2-_AA57-_AB513_A145242.jpg https://s14.postimg.org...

Thanks for the reply’s chaps.
I am still undecided which way to go with this and I may refurb the Empi 8’s for the short term.

Thanks for your reply Stephen.Ideally I want to keep most of my original hardware as its in good condition.
I have seen some replicas with hub adaptors but they are not a very convincing copy sadly.

Good afternoon chaps.

I’m looking for some advice links etc to the most economical way of getting five lug Fuchs/ replicas on my 914.
I would be happy to fit repro wheels as long as they are a faithful copy.
Has anyone done this?

Many thanks in advance.

I’m looking for some advice on the most economical way of getting five lug wheels on my car?Hub adapters etc..
Any thoughts please chaps?

Thanks.I had been looking on and off since 1990 so I thought it was finally time to pull the trigger on a 914.

I used this.
Good adhesion and easy to work with.

Cheers lads.Its turning out a little better than I thought it would tbh.

Fantastic work again on this Stephen!

I’m still on the look out chaps.

As above I'm wanting to source some 5 stud fuchs and the associated hubs etc for my '73 914.

I seriously hope that they are not on the up as I have owned cars in the past that have gone from users to ornaments
