Got an email today that the Mahle repro gasburner wheels are back in stock at cip1. Though they're either black with polished spokes or chromed, I figured you could have them painted silver to replicate the original Mahle look. Has anyone had any experience with these for a strictly street wheel? It would be a nice look on a 914-6 narrow body?

the 4 lug version fits nicely on a stock narrow body car running 195/60-15 tires. it was a white car, they looked great with the black finish.

I might be interested in the 4 lug version if they are available, but I can't find them on the website. Do you have a link maybe?
Thanks.

These might look good on my car.. I had pretty much decided to go 5 lug with Fuchs, but these will pop big time and be a lot cheaper.

I'm guessing yours are the real deal? The repops do not look as good (at least these versions), they screwed up and made the ribs and face too close to the outer edge. Poor copy or done to protect from lawsuits?

no pictures. they were on a white car sold at camp914 in 2013 (iirc). so what if they aren't a exact copy of the OEM 5 lug? they should be as durable as any cast wheel. seeing as how you can't come close to touching a real one for the cost of 4 repops, delivered, you can have the look you want at an affordable price.

Found it....

I just like the look of the original version with the wider lip, if the repops looked just like the originals ones my wallet would be open right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You might want to look into the JGE GeeBee wheel:

Those with a five lugbolt circle and correct offset would be the ticket.

I often wish original magnesium gas burners existed in 15x6 & 15x7.

All silver looks better....

I'd bet money they machine/diamond turn the lip and spokes on the other versions.

Nice job on those....I just spent the last 1/2 hour searching and reading any thread by you that included Mahles in the subject (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well no, no one would buy at that price. It's £595 for a set of four or £620 for a set of four with center caps.

Ask Google, and the price is in British Pounds, not Euros
