Porsche 912 Coupe 1967
When put into production in 1964, there was only a single body style, the Coupe. For the 1967 model year the Targa, a semi-open version featuring an integral roll bar, was introduced.
Several years before the Porsche factory offered Fuchs wheels, Jack McAfee sold his own alloy wheels which today are commonly referred to as "McAfee wheels". For owners of disk brake 356 and early 911/912 models, these were a stylish alternative to the stock steel wheel. Keep in mind that even when Porsche first offered Fuchs Alloys in 1967, they were still only 4.5" wide. McAfee wheels became so popular on the West Coast that a McAfee "clone" wheel was later manufactured by an unknown source. Regarding the manufacturing of McAfee wheels, expensive dies were made that allowed for the wheels to be centrifugally cast at a foundry in Pomona CA. Cragar spinners were used to give a sporty "knock off" look. Today, neither the original dies or foundry exist, making a set of McAfee wheels quite collectible.
The McAfee wheel has the following stampings on the back side: "LOS ANGELES CALIF.", "PATENT PENDING", "SRC 1500" and "15:00 X 550".
