Well, these are another very cool interesting old school rim.

All 6" by 15"
Porsche bolt pattern, 5x130
Cast aluminium
Made in Italy
Factory finish was face silver, painted - rest bare

I don't think there are many sets around...I don't recall seeing a set actually on a car.
What do you know about them?
Do you own a set? Post up a pic!
Do you have any factory literature? Period ads?
Do you have a pic of a set on a VW or a Porsche?

Big thanks to Sven

NOS set, complete with packaging! Nice.

Ron- They look like they've got a lot of backspacing. Might look good on a certain tub.... :wink: Al

They look like they have more than a 24.5mm offset, but looks can be deceiving.
My present wheels (15x6), with a 185/65 tires and 37mm offset, just clear my rear fenders.

Pedrini also made 4x130 wheels for the 914.

Yes, those 914 rims are what most VW people associate with Pedrini wheels.
Pretty cool (for a 4-stud)

Anyone have a picture of another car wearing them?
A VW?

Any pictures of the original centre caps?

Interesting that these seem to differ from the FPS wheel for BMWs.

Seems you could get them with a recessed Porsche-logo’d copper centre cap

(speedsters1975 on FlickR)

Very few pictures of the wheels around…let alone the caps

I have a very similar set of Pedrinis with 5x112 on a 1969 Mercedes 280sl
