Does anyone know if they ever made centerlines in a 5X130mm pattern? I was watching this cool old movie called "King of the Mountain" the other day. It's more or less about guys racing down Mulholland Dr. back in the day. One of the cars is a Porsche 356 (probably a kit car) and it has satin finish centerline wheels on it.  They're probably chevy pattern with adapters, but who knows for sure. Anyway, I've always loved the look of these wheels and I'm getting a little bored with my fuchs. I love gasburners, but they cost way too much. But if I had some porsche pattern centerlines on my '67 I think it would look pretty cool.

I've seen 5 x 130 Centerlines on Porsches in the past. They look like ass, too early 80s Camaro mullet wagon for my taste. Picture these with 5 x 130 instead of 4x 130. I think star cutout Erco look bitchen in Porsche pattern.

I think Erco's and Centerlines only look good in 5x205

I actaully have a set of 5 X 205 centerlines for my '63. I just wouldn't mind changing the look of my '67 a little bit. I'll probably just stick with my alloys since I have a lot of other projects right now. I've also thought about detailing the alloys with the black on the insides.

Hi Redwagon,

Yes, there are made original centerline wheels for Porsche 5 x 130.
These come from a Porsche 356.

Regards,
Maurice

Sweet! I still think those wheeels would give my '67 a more agressive look.

I don`t know, I kind of like them. Not real crazy about the offset and look of the 5.5`s and 3.5`s together but here`s a friends 66 I did the front and rear suspension on. Only thing is not much room for big tires on the back and you need a 3" beam as shown here. I know these are not Porsche pattern but would look pretty much the same.

They look more like CRAGAR SuperTricks to me. They look to have bolts instead of rivets.I have a NOS set for my Nova SS. I also have some to fit VW wide five pattern.That was a cool movie.Need more car movies.

What would you put them on? You've already got a set on your bug and gas burners on your bus.  Grin
