Has anyone used the Empi Reproduction Fuchs?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-20876-1512837049.1.jpg)

5 1/2 x 15 45mm offset (5" backspacing)

Quality?

Do the fronts hub center on the newer type hubs?

Thanks.

The back spacing is wrong, made for a lowered beetle.
I'd look at euromiester rims from Automotion.

Width, diameter, and backspacing is the same as stock 914 wheels (5 1/2 x 15 and 5" backspacing/45 mm offset). They do make other sizes that probably look best on bugs and would not fit well on a stock fendered 914.
