does anybody know the colour code of the middle section of original EMPI 5 Spokes? Thanks, Basti Title: Re: Colour code of EMPI 5 spokes Post by: TyeDyeBug on February 04, 2017, 01:53:40 am originals were not painted
Title: Re: Colour code of EMPI 5 spokes Post by: nicolas on February 04, 2017, 09:50:58 am not entirely true. you both had them raw (unpainted, look sandblasted) and painted grey (similar color, but finish is smoother) no paintcode to help you, sorry. same goes for 8 spokes.

Looking for a paint color or code? the best should be that you find someone who have one NOS and doing a color scan researchTitle: Re: Colour code of EMPI 5 spokes Post by: jick on February 07, 2017, 22:02:32 pm We recently did this set of 8 spokes at Custommotorbodies,
if this colour suits you I'll dig out the code tomorrow at work. We used a satin clear over base.

In the day (70's), I remember using semi flat paint for whatever wheel restorative color desired, and was always a spot on match up to the original wheel color.

Title: Re: Colour code of EMPI 5 spokes Post by: Brian Rogers on February 21, 2017, 19:02:53 pm We're these cast aluminum or magnesium? They look aluminum. Sorry neofite question.
Title: Re: Colour code of EMPI 5 spokes Post by: TyeDyeBug on February 21, 2017, 20:22:09 pm I would say they added much more aluminum to the mix as they are a much stronger and heavier wheel than the 1st gen.
