Empi 8 spoke wheels

Post by Advokat »

I just got some 15" 8 spoke, black Empi style wheels that I will use once I do the front disc conversion-probably using Vince's kit.

Anyway, can these just be bolted up using the original VW lug bolts or is special hardware needed?

Also, does anyone know where I can find black lug bolts and black acorn style nuts to use for this application? I need the nuts since I will use wheel adaptors on the rear and keep the stock Thing drums.

While I'm at it, does anyone have any wide 5 to 4x130 wheel adaptors? I need 2.

Thanks

Avocat, yes you`ll need new lug bolts th use the mag wheels.These are all very common items and can be found at every VW aftermarket distributor. www.CIP1.com is a good place to start but they all have this stuff. Good luck. Bob Ingman
