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!

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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

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