Anyone ever heard of Avante Wheels? I have heard they are worth some thing. They have the 4 bolt 914/VW pattern. Anyone have any idea.

I don't think they made a wheel specificly for the Avante, so whatever cheap, cast rim made for Bug would fit the Avante.

Centercaps mean nothing.....they can be adapted to just about anything if one so desires....
They sound like Empis (IMG:http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sell/SSProfiles/20051427/Images/9557.jpg) or these: Attached image(s)

Sorry my digital camera is at a friends house I will take pic as soon as I can. I dont think they are empi's but that is the style from the pic it looks like the empi have a recess around the lug bolts mine do not. I am just trying to get educated I have been around 914's/VW for the last 10 years and had never heard of avante rims I was told that the last guy who owned these rims was offered $1000 for the rims from a VW collector.
Thanks for the Help Mueller and seanery |
