I have a lead on a set of Pedrini's and was wondering how they compare to the Riviera's currently on the car? I've been reading that the Riv's are a cast wheel and tend to crack - not to mention that they are heavy. Are they worth the extra couple hundred dollars?

Pedrinis were made for 914s. Rivs were made for Bugs, and revised to fit 914s. Some Rivs (actual bug wheels) will not fit tires wider than 165s under stock 914 fenders. Some will fit up to 195s, while some will fit 205s. Elephino what the difference between the last two is, though!
There are two "flavors" of Pedrinis. The first kind came out in 71, I think, and it will not fit the front hubs of the late-72 and later cars! (Those are the "hub-centric" front hubs.) The part number for this version ends in ".00". The second kind was available in 1973 (maybe late 72?) and will fit the later hub-centric hubs. This version has a part number that ends in ".01". Make sure you get the latter kind if you want Pedrinis and have a one of the later cars. --DD |
