|
|
| Hey everyone, I am going to be mounting a set of OG Empi 5 spokes (late w/o the recessed ball nut) on my Beetle with 356 drums, My question is can i get flat lug nuts that recess into the mounting holes or Do i need to run the spacer pieces and add longer studs to my drums? Hope the questions make some sence to people. Also a couple other things, Does anyone know of a good repro center cap. and if decals are available these days? And last question on original Empi's was the grey on the spokes flat grey or satin? |

| I also have some of these, and I cant find anyone on this side of the pond who can get the correct bolts or spacers (top hats). I have spoken to a local engineer, and he will make me a set of 10, plus clean out the bolt holes in the wheels which are a bit rough for 175 pounds. |

Every time I ask Randee at Randar wheels, he tells me he can supply people with the correct nuts and washers for these wheels. _________________ Sounding like a broken record as to why You should be measuring protein during harvest in order to better your agronomic practices. |

Try having a word with spennyp on vzi, he got all his hardware in the UK for his Genuine EMPI 5's. He's using studs and some kind of spacer, plus nuts and washers. |
