EMPI GT-8 8-Spoke Wheel 15x5.5 4x130 - Gloss Black w/ Polished Lip - VW Beetle, Ghia, Type 3 | 00-9682-0

EMPI's GT-8 8-Spoke wheel is the iconic Cal-Look choice for air-cooled Volkswagens — first produced in the late 1960s and re-engineered today as a stronger one-piece cast aluminum wheel. The gloss black face with polished lip delivers a clean, aggressive stance on Late Beetle, Super Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Type 3. Sold each so you can build matched sets or stagger finishes.
