"Empi's" are back in production and selling for $75 ea., with caps. 15x5.5", 4" back spacing, 4 on 5.118" bc,(130 mm). Plan is to put new bc. in adjacent, blank areas.This will get you up to a 205-50-15 hipo tire. Good Luck,roverman.

Sorry, Art, those are VW wheels. Might fit, but really?!

Anyone doing an IRS should check out the cv axle link at the site Jim posted.

Carl, as per my original post, 4 0n 5.118" bc.

I can't find anything nice to say about Empi styling, except maybe that they'd look just right on a hot pink Karmann Ghia...

So instead I'll just ask: "Why 5.5" wide?" Wouldn't a wider wheel suit your performance tire much better?

OK, I'll try to convince them to advertise here, maybe then , they'll look better ?
