2.0 litre Fuchs

Hi,
I have been offered some 2.0 Litre wheels for my speedster but dont know what they would look like. Is anyone running a set? any problems with them? (picture would be excellent!)

Thanks

Richard
Go to Anything Goes "Pick your Poison". The website I found has 911, 356, 914 etc. One of the wheel option is the 4 bolt fuchs. Build the car there, color it, lower it, racing decals etc.

Have fun.

Those are great wheels! - very light weight and strong. From a distance on a Speedster they look like the normal 5 lug Fuchs (just one less spoke). They can be left with polished spokes and blk (anodized) background or completely polished. Just make sure you get the longer lug bolts (and hopefully te center caps) as they are costly to get piece meal. On ebay there are polished billet center caps avail for $80 (4) -- a better deal than the fragile OEM stainless steel ones. I have a set of 914 Pedrini wheels for mine. They have a sand cast finish with thin polished ribs - very much like the Mahle wheels which were painted and on the special edition 914s. I probably will just media blast mine and polish the smooth rim and ribs. Gotta make decision on my current chrome steel wheels with Porsche crested nipple hub caps.

Is this what you are talking about?http://www.airspeedparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2808&osCsid=9a335d7bfe3de93c3a712a12eb6408e5 If so,I haven't seen them on a speedster yet, but I bet they will look great.

Yep! they are the ones. Seen lots of bugs with them but no speedys!

The OEM Fuchs 2L are far superior to the American Eagle Racing reproductions (not sure if they were exported to UK). The OEM ones have a VW stamp and a number starting with 914. on the back. The weigh only 14# each compared to a steel wheel of same size which is 21#.

Go look at my photos (jimdodgen) I have the genuine 2.0 914 fuchs on
