Anyone run these Mobelwagen wheels?

I’m kind of diggin’ the interceptor, but the backspacing on the 15 x 5.5 is 4”. I think they’ll be fine with the 185’s that came with my car but would require some work on the rear fender lips if I ever move to 205’s.

They do have the “schnell” for less money and proper backspacing - and kind of look like 4 lug aftermarket Fuchs.

They’d go on this car. My 1st 914 that I recently acquired from TDSkip (thanks Tom!).

A Speedster rep. came in with these , decent Wheels ,, Boyds wheeis The rims are soft,,,bent on tire machine straightened with dead blow.. Not DOT.. Ive done a bunch of 17s and Know a good Hoop or Barrels ..


These are DOT-T, made of A356 Cast Aluminum and described as a feature “designed to be one of the strongest wheels available”. I have no idea but doubt they’d hold a candle to forged as far as strength go. I would have to say though that I’d bet money the lip of the stock (sport) steelies would bend well before these would … these have a thick lip where as the stock steelies are a surprisingly thin pressed metal - I compared them side by side. Also, don’t get these for any significant weight advantage over the stock steelies, I haven’t weighed them ( I will if anyone’s interested) but I believe the thickness of these compared to the thin steelies, basically make it a wash.

Oh and btw, the hub cap clips are included.
