The EMPI 5-Rib wheel is one of the most iconic VW aftermarket wheel designs ever made — and in anthracite grey with a polished lip, it looks incredible on any air-cooled Volkswagen. Inspired by the original multi-piece EMPI 5-spoke wheel of the 1960s, this modern version delivers that classic look with solid one-piece aluminum construction.
