Performance Industries. Looks like original caps. Could be a "PI". Never seen original caps.

$4000.
I'll sell you my set for $2000 cause they have no caps.

Honestly, I don't think anybody could really tell you. There was a guy trying to get 1000 bones for a restored set. I think he was dreaming. They're not popular, but they are rare. I'd do a search for "turtle" in the wheel/tire section of the classifieds and kind of start there. I think turtles are more popular due to their offset, but with a narrowed beam PI's would look sweet.

*edit*
Just took a peek and there are a couple of sets for sale in the classifieds.

Best looking vw wheels made!
If only they were wide 5 pattern with just five slots.

I would love to see a set that is all natural, no black background and nothing polished. Just raw dark aluminum.

pedrini logo caps

definitely NOT pedrini caps :wink: I've never seen an original cap for that wheel.

those may be the correct caps. not many know but it has been said that that logo cap is correct for these wheels. as to value not much. $200-300 in that condition. if those are the correct caps and you have all of them and a full set of the lugs deff the higher end of that figure and maybe a touch more. i paid $300 shipped for the set i have.

they are a great wheel that you don't see often. i'm going to polish/paint my set for the square after it's painted....ken....

I'd go with this estimate.
