What is this wheel? Gasburner? Replica?

[imaircooled]

The wheel is marked with VW and made in Italy. It looks a lot like the 4 lug Gasburner...or baby Gasburner....but it's just a little different. What is this wheel?
Thanks again.

Pedrini - 914 Wheels

Different alloy, 4x130 instead of 5x 130 lug pattern.

Look pretty good polished. You can find them for 50-100 a wheel. They use special lug bolts......stupid way of hanging them from the hub. IIRC they differ in length from the front to rear.

That's the rare *Electric Range* rim.

Cone seat vs. ball seat?

Lug BOLTS not nuts.....914s do not use pressed in studs, unless modified by the owner or it's a 914/6.

And IIRC, cone seat.

BTW when looking for replacement bolts avoid an asshat eBay seller named "The Andante".......sub standard bolt, wrong seat and it's a 17mm versus 19mm head. But he still sells them as 914 Fuchs/Pedrini compatible.

bolts, I know, sorry. I have 72mm studs pressed in so all I have for picture reference are the open ended nuts. I needed the cone seated ones for my ATS wheels.

Thanks again for the information guys. Good to know.

Definitely ball seat. All the same length, but there are early and late wheels. Late ones have a little area at center to clear the brake rotor, which is different on the later cars.
