There must have been a problem with the deal.
That car sold on eBay two weeks ago.

It looks like a very nice buy, but If I am blind, it did not say a restoration was performed, and they are stating 100% rust free?? Inspect closely before coming to any conclusion. A newb's 2cents.

Mahle "gas burner" magnesium wheels ( the lightest wheel ever offered on a porsche)

Uhhhh... those are four bolt wheels.

they made 4 lug mahle's and they WERE the lightest wheels porsche offered on a street car.

OK, this is going to get interesting...

The 5-bolt Mahles are made of magnesium. The 4-bolt Mahles are not. The 4-bolt Mahles are cast aluminium.

I believe that the 4-bolt Fuchs weigh less than the 4-bolt Mahles. And, the 5-bolt Mahles weigh the least of them all.

is this true?!!!

Posted by: madd_dogg_914 Jun 21 2003, 10:43 AM

AFAIK yes, the previous statement IS true. Mahle manufactured the 5 bolt Mahles (Gas Burners) out of magnesium, and they were VERY light. The four bolt counterpart, which is a totally different wheel, and has never been called the gas burner, was heavier. The fuchs wheels were the lightest wheels offered in the four lug battern. The Mahle 5 bolt was the lightest wheel offered on Porsche.

JP,

I'd appreciate it if you crop out the P.O.S. motor from future postings...

Especially those beautiful... err... I mean... disgusting looking carb intakes.

And clean up that ugly engine compartment... I think I see a spec of dirt somewhere... nope.. wait. oh that some dirt on my monitor.

nevermind.
