Empi Alloy Wheels - Anyone got them and are they ok?
Read a lot of posts on here about Empi products, some of them not very flattering re quality. Wondering whether anyone has bought a set of Empi alloys
such as BRM replicas or 914 replicas and if so whether the quality seems ok.
Cheers.....Wayne

I have a set of Empi repro sprintstars and a set of BRMs both are fine, the sprintstar centre caps are not great and fade, other than that they are
good.

Whilst some of their stuff might not not be 100%, I've never had any problems.
I have a set of GT 5 Spokes and they look great.

they seem to have finally made something that looks good and does actually fit...
Maybe Government rules had something to do with wheels fitting..
I wonder when Indian made parts will get here...??
Maybe they can use calipers to measure things correctly... lol

Bought Empi Sprintstars for the wifes beetle and they are good quality..You should look up some reviews about ROTA Wheels..They make Empi Wheels look
like BBS's..
