The most noticeable component of a car are the rims. And here the owner has almost no limits. Some like it conspicuous, some rather classic. If you like classic rims, you should look at the so called Gas Burner rims. Originally, the rims were made by the company Mahle produced. The name Gas Burner comes because the rims look like an old gas stove. Although Mahle does not produce the rims anymore, there are now some manufacturers who reproduce the rims. Tip: New rims for the car? It is important to pay attention to this before buying!
Hole circle & rim dimensions
GasBurner rims are available in different bolt circles. Common bolt circles are 5 × 130, 5 × 112 or 4 × 130 millimeters. Gas Burner rims are available in many different dimensions and therefore for many classic cars. The following dimensions are common for Gas Burner rims: 5.5J x 15 "ET20 and 5.5J x 15" ET35, 5.5J x 15 "ET45 and 5.5J x 15" ET6.
Load capacity & manufacturer
Gas Burner rims are available with a payload of up to 690 kilograms per rim which is a decent value for almost all common vehicles. For example, SSP Wheels is the current manufacturer Cosmic rims have in the range. Frequent color choice of the aluminum is black / polished.
Tip: New wheelset planned? Our Tire calculator says if it fits!
But other surfaces are also possible, for example through a later powder coating or foil. The SSP rim is a reproduction of the so-called Mahle Gas Burner rim, which could be ordered as an optional extra for the Porsche 914/6. The Gas Burner rims come with chrome hub caps and chrome tire valves. The manufacturer supplies one ABE (General operating permit) to the rims.

Hallo,
I would like to have the rims on my Type 11 Beetle.
That's not a problem with the ABE. Historically it is, but only on the Porsche 914.
For the H approval, the examiner needs proof that this rim could be registered on beetles at that time.
Is there any information or documentation about this?
Buongiorno, leggo casualmente la mail inviata da T.bersch il 31 agosto dove scrive:
. Storicamente lo è, ma solo sulla Porsche 914… ..
Cosa vuol dire? Io ho una 914/4 cilindrata 1700 del 1970 e sul libretto non ho riportato ne 'le dimensioni delle gomme che dei cerchi.Ora vorrei montare i cerchi SSP Il cerchio del bruciatore a gas con 5.5J x 15 "ET35.
Originariamente sulla scheda della vettura il cerchio 5,5 × 15 era riportato con pneumatici 165r15.Poi la Porsche ha con una circolare ammesso anche le gomme 195 / 65R15.
Cosa devo fare? grace
