    Help Identifying Wheels 5.5 x 14

    I am having a little trouble figuring out what wheels these are. They are 5.5 x 14, but the part number is damaged enough that I can't read it anymore. Three of them are 2/70 and the fourth says 69 6. I thought that they were 911 wheels, but after some reading on here I'm beginning to think 914.

    Thank you.

    Dated wheels for a 911 or a 914-6 are selling for (considerably) more than the late 912E or replacement 72-75 wheels.....(three styles)
    But you knew that.....Date matching and all that stuff...I don't know of any 72s or 73s that had them...
    The least expensive Fuchs right now is the 912 E wheel....
    I can't believe I said that.

    Yes, I just paid a pretty penny for a set date matched 6/70 5.5 x 14's for my '70 914-6. I agree the later 14's are cheapest ones out there and the only difference is the center cap so once installed no one would question.

    Harvey and Mike, you guys know more about these wheels than I probably ever will. I am truly confused by this though, especially the part about the early 14's being more valuable than '72 replacement wheels. I assume we're talking about 15 X 6 fuchs with the three prong caps, or "00" flat sixes. I had a pair of early 3 prong 14 X 5.5's and I could barely give them away. I understand how the early 14's are worth more than the 912E's 14's with the press in caps. That makes perfect sense. I guess it's the part about the early 14's being expensive. I suppose we'll find out how much they're really worth. Here they are.
