I apologize for the vague question I am about to ask.

I recently saw some rims I had never seen and cannot remember the name of them. The name was similar to "Mullier". They had for lug holes and I believe they were for 914 or VW.

I thought I had seen most all of the rims made and these came as a surprise.

Sorry for my vague information, but does this ring a bell with anyone?

Thank you

Let's just call them Bob. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That's as useful as anything, until we can see some pictures of said wheels.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) perfectly done, Jeff.
I confess to having called them "may-lee's" before because of my damned American accent. I love 'em and run 'em.

You are absolutely correct about a picture being worth a thousand words.
Unfortunately, I cannot find the picture until I know the name to search for.

Maybe a bell-end. Or eight.

The OP did too. I'd have figured he'd comment on a similar style from those if he really wanted to know.

Does EMPI make an 8 spoke wheel that is 914 backspace? I see CIP1 has one with 4.5" backspacing...
What's the stock backspace? I always see 4.5 to 4.75". Nothing exact.

Will 205/60 fit on a narrow body with 4.5" backspace?

I'm looking at these wheels!

205 Fit? Sort of. A 5.5" wheel tends to 'side bulge' that size tire. Increasing the actual width and the potential for body rub. The 195 falkens on my car have "do not mount on 5.5" wheels" right on the side of them. I'm going to go to 185/65 15 falken ziexs on my car. $61.66 a pop with the current promotion @ pepboys. Take your center caps off prior to mounting new tires. More than likely the shop will remove then with a hammer and screwdriver.

Factory 4 lug fuch wheels have 4 5/8" from the back wheel face to a framing square layed on the inside wheel lip. I just went and measured.

7TPorsh, If you are interested, I will have a full set of those same 5-1/2" Empis available for sale in about a week when my 5-lug conversion is complete. Black center spokes and aluminum outer ring with Porsche-crested black center caps. I do have 205/60s on them and the tire does have a bit of a bulge to it as a result. They do fit very easily under a narrow body 914. They have been on my car when I first got it 30 years ago. I can send you photos if you like or post them here.
