    Help needed on Porsche 914/6 Factory Mags

    I have a set of original 914/6 factory mags that I am looking to sell. One wheel has bad curb rash, another has a small crack, and the other 2 are in better condition. I am wondering if I should repair them and what a fair price to repair them would be along with how much they are worth fixed up or left the way they are. If anyone knows anything or just wants to express their opinion that would be appreciated.

    914 forum would be the best to get an estimate.
    BTW, You need an experienced wheel guy to fix those....

    What color is your 914/6. I sold a Irish Green/dark green one in San Diego around 1980-1982. It had a set of those wheels on it and a black interior. If it's the same car I'd like to know how it's doing. It had a 2.2 liter in it back then. Unfortunately I can't recall the vin number.

    Sorry, don't have a 914, the wheels were purchased alone in 1982 by my father.

    One wheel has no curb rash and would only need a respray but I am only selling as a whole.

    Harvey, you are very experienced, do you fix mag wheels? I know it's a tough material to work with.

    BTW: I LOVE the look of gasburners, I would love to have a set to use on either my 914 or 356SC...just not sure I have the money to rationalize such a purchase
