Anyone famcey swopping a pair of 4.5in empi8's for a pair of 5.5in empis??
I have 4 x 4.5in EMPI 8's- MWS/Smiths -look virtually unused- silver centres -tyres are rotten (came off an 'unfinished project beetle, that sat outside for a bit), but I can include 155/65/15 tyres that are presently on o/e beetle rims in the swop;
...they'll eventually go on a buggy, so need wider rims for the rear.
I might even consider a set of buggy wheels, but nothing too 'lairy'...

Kevin, if you're thinking you may end up with 5 stud spacers I know of a set of 8" wide buggy rears that are going for sale, as mentioned they are wide-5s but adapters are available and aren't expensive compared to watercooled adapters...

I still have these knocking about if you're interested? Throw me €250 and they're yours. Tyres are perfect. Standard VW 4x130 stud pattern.
