I'm looking at a set of reproduction Mahle Gas Burners for my 6. The original ones are pricing on the moon lately. Here's a link to the ones I'm looking at.
http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?Pr...Code=C32%2DGB2B Here's are my questions: Anyone know what the back space is for the factory Gas Burner? Anyone ever seen these wheels side by side? Are these good reproductions? What is the correct style finish for the 6? |

If I was doing a narrow body restoration, or a 5 lug conversion on a narrow four, 5 lug gas burners would be my 1st choice, period. However a 5.5" width limits them to narrow body only. Anything w/ flares would just not look right using genuine gas burners. Wider aftermarket repros would be something to consider in that situation, both depending on the quality & weight of the rim. Original 5 lug Mahles are still one of the lightest wheels ever made.
