This is a two piece rim, cast alloy, and we're wanting to know whether they are the real deal genuine EMPI or a repro..

Those of you in the know with a keen eye will no doubt be able to tell us..

They look like originals to me:thumb

look like mine. my spare is at the chrome shop right now.

Nice wheels Jim!!! :thumb

I'm just curious, how much do these weigh?

They're originals Jim, too bad about the carpet
p.s. Original centrecaps will be a bitch to find!

Sprintstar- they repop the center cap. and they repop the original stickers.there were some NOS ones on ebay a month back, but they sold for a grip.

ooooooo! a real one.

A real SET! NOS...

So Jim, what are you putting them on?
Hey Scott, there shiney!

Jim

There Origionals cause there 2 piece, make sure theres no corrosion are the bolt studs as if you read that article in Hot VWs a few months ago some guy had a wheel explode in his face when they were fitting the tyre. very dangerous

the new ones are one piece casting they dont split.

JIm, Good Score! See (meet you) Saturday down Chaps!

N!

Jim.- the guy who blew up that rim, caused that problem. he said he ws setting the bead on the tire and it blew up. but have you ever heard of even100 psi blowing metal apart? didnt think to. myself and a couple fo others think he was tryibng to bead it the old way withlighter fluid and thats why it blew up.
EMPI KG- thems be chromed. it puts that polished crap to shame.

german folks

I've seen this done but it was on a 4x4 tyre. Whats basically done is the tyre is put onto the rim manually then covered in lighter fluid and set on fire the sudden change in tyre temp out side makes the tyre pop into place on the rim. Somthing to do with the inside air temp expanding making the tyre expand onto the rim.
