Can any one tell me if I can get fully chromed 914 replica wheels here in Australia? I have seen the black and chrome locally, but am keen on fully chromed.

Thanks

They are refered to as Gasburners, You might have luck on the samba or something, not sure about repros though

EDIT: The photo you have shown is 4 lug, never mind, All gasburners were 5's I belive

They are clearly not a 4 bolt Fuch wheel

That is a Fuch, the first picture are 4 bolt gasburner repros, or as that website calls them Mahle wheels

Ediit: Ive confused myself, I dont even know what im doing now, Ignore me

I'm thinking that they are a fully chromed version of the rim attached. I can get them from cip1.com - but thought it would be good to get them locally to reduce shipping costs.

I think I may be able to get them from classic vee dub - just waiting for confirmation.

thanks for the help - fingers crossed!!
