Replaced my Sprintstars with a set of KPZ to solve the back tires rubbing against the fenders. Pretty pleased with the result

Anybody know what these are? 4x130, 14x6, stamped +100 and "Made In England". To satisfy curiosity, I haven't been able to find a match through quite a bit of searching. They'll be replacing the current diamond racing anchors on my formula vee autocrosser, dropping 8 pounds per corner! They are light at 12-13lbs each.
The ebay ad I snagged 'em from said they were '70's vintage and came off a 914.

A buddy of mine in high school had either 9 or 10 spoke wheels, and he remembers they were 4 lug. But we can not find any pictures... any ideas not to high jack the thread but I thought they were cool and unique |

I am liking the US Indy Mags that came on my square.
They are 14" X 7" and the tires that are on them currently are 225/60/14's...
Of course they will get cleaned and new tires installed before we start driving it again.

Alex, where did you get these wheels? I have been searching and can't find any for my 70 I'm currently restoring. Any info would be great!

there was either a pair or a full set of those in the classifieds 2-3 years or so ago. i think it was only a pair. the guy didn't know what they were and if memory serves was fishing for offers. i think he eventually put a fairly high price on them and they sat in the classifieds another month or three and then disappeared.
i seem to want to remember there was also a thread on them but i could be wrong.
it was around the same time i was after a set of Performance Industries / Pacific Italias. i still have 3 random 3 PI's hanging on the wall i never used. maybe it's time for those to hit the classifieds... _________________ ITMC

Those wheels share a lot of features with Pedrini's. The raised spokes, raised ribs around the windows etc. I know they're not Pedrinis but maybe cast by the same company. Maybe it's a 914 wheel of some kind? Cool wheels.
I have a set of Pedrinis on my 68 beetle that I detailed with polished spokes and polished window ribs with the backround painted rally silver. I made my own billet center caps that have 4 scallops to match 4 of the spokes. |
