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.

good for modifying tooo..

I have a few 'in stock' if only.....

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?

Got pics?

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

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

I did a lot of corner rounding to make em look more like the real deal...well besides welding a 1 inch lip to the outside to make 6.5 wide..

At $3689, plus any shipping, I'll pass on the JGE versions.

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.

For us folks who don't deal in euros, just how much is that in u.s.dollars?

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

Real Orig. Mahle 4-spoke wheel

Here's the car they came from. Really the perfect candidate - 1 owner, low mileage, driven by a retired doctor. Car was left at mechanics for 5 years and forgotten. Not good for steel but no ill effects to the aluminum wheels. Then TJB stepped in and made them look amazing.
