gas burner style four lug with new toyo 185/55 15
I like them! I was originally thinking chrome steelies w/ caps, but when I saw that empi had a repop gas burner, I looked into those. unfortunately the empi's have a taper seat and I have long studs with ball seats.
then I found that CPI had similar wheels with ball seats - yea!
a bit dark.... damn overcast!!!

Looks great! When I saw the first pic of the wheels I didn't like the black centers, but they work really well on a white car.

Sweet, and cheeeep...I think that's the best aftermarket wheel out there..aesthetic wise..
Here are my centercaps for my cip1 6.5 wide mahelstations
I have hours of massaging mine to correct them.

I likely! Those widened wheels are sweet!
I had a set of enameled center caps in my stash. The blacks don't match, but they are better than the fake chrome crests that I bought with the wheels. Btw thanks for the lead on CP1!!! I think they look good on Nates old 914.

Do they offer the correct offset for 914s? ... or they standard VW?
Looks nice

Hello! What is the “taper seat? I am thinking on setting up a set of empi’s my car has a standard 74 914, 2.0 4 stud setup. Will the empi wheels fit?, thanks..

Tapered seat is also known as a conical seat (cone shaped). 914's use a ball seat

I have never seen those caps before… have a set of the five lugs that have porsche caps, but your are much cooler

Those are sweet!! Love the sort of three color monochrome look of Ivory White with everything else black and silver - classic!
