Alloy what?
Four-bolt on the larger engine 914 would probably be the Pedrini wheels. Keep in mind there are at least two different kinds of Pedrinis - the early ones which you want and the later ones for hub-centered mounting. Later ones won't work.
I'd watch eBay to see price trends.
There was no 2.0 litre imported 914 that I know of. It bombed and was replaced with the 1.7 and 1.8. But you do want THOSE wheels, right? Go with the replicas.
in a 914? the largest 4banger was the 2.0...not sure of the displacement in the 914/6
Huh?
914s were made for 6 years and there was a 2L version sold, both here and in europe, each year. VW-Porsche made 2 different engines available each year, one small, one 2.0L.For the 1st 2 years the 2.0 was the 6 cyl 911 engine and the car was sold as the 914/6. These are quite scarce.
For the last 4 years the 2.0 was a 4 cyl VW type 4 engine.
In the early years the small engines were 1.7L and the later ones were
1.8L, both just smaller versions of the VW type 4 engine.-

Smaller versions of the VW T4? Huh - they were all virtually the same engine with a few minor changes like valve size, compression ratio (domed/flat or concave pistons), Carb vs EFI, Oil filler placement and flywheel size (215 or 210). There indeed was a 1.7 (1679cc), 1.8 and a 2.0 along with the 2.2L 6 cylinder. A fair price for the lighweight 4 bolt Fuchs would be $300-500 (for 4) with NO curb rash or repainting (they were anodized not painted) --- including the required longer lug nuts and the stainless steel center caps. Both Pedrini (made in Italy) and Mahle were also factory optional wheels --- both have a snad cast appearance and the Mahle's were painted white, orange, yellow, and green on special editions.
