This is a wheel on a car on ebay. (posted several times) I am looking for a parts car in the North and was wondering what these rims might be worth used.

They are aftermarket "8-spoke Empi" wheels by American Eagle. They fit the 914 and many early VWs, but the offset/backsping is slightly different.

Folks trying to run these wheels on 914s sometimes have problems fitting 205 or 195 width tire in the rear of their 914s. Some 914s have slightly off geometry in the rear and you may rub the fenders. Some people have no problem at all. Some "cure" the problem by rolling the inner lip of the rear fender with a pipe or baseball bat.

Frankly, I'd prefer the Mahles or Fuchs over these.

What are they worth? Not much... Search E-bay. They are there all the time!

Regards,

Karl
