Thanks - I think they are well suited to the 914's lines, and being a rare wheel that is NOS is just icing on the cake.

I'm measuring backspacing this AM for Puebloswatcop. If he passes I will let you know.

Still available.
I posted the backspacing and these do have more offset. They could easily be machined for less offset by any decent machine shop.

Stock offset is 40mm. Lugs would go right thru them if they were machined that much.
Too bad, they do look nice, on a lucky vw....

40mm on a 5.5"?
I know the empi 8 spokes I've seen run right at 4" BS and these are 3 3/8"
The pad on the Empi isn't a full circle one (when viewed from the back) while these are, and are 12.5mm thick to the bottom of the bolt taper in the hole, where the empi is only 6.5mm.
So, yes, I don't think there's a chance of hitting the stock offset, but would be closer to the Empi anyway. Bummer. Anyone wanna stretch their fenders for a mild flare look?
Thanks for all the help on these.
