The Porsche “gas burner” wheel is an iconic, ultra-lightweight magnesium alloy wheel originally manufactured by Mahle as a factory option for classic 911 and 914-6 models. 15”x5.5”

Most buyers need to know IF they have been spun on wheel balancer to check for out of round. Since these were so light, they tended to be damaged.

I'm selling these for a friend who recently sold the 356 he autocrossed. I just removed the 10yr old tires. I don't suspect any damage, but I'll investigate how "true" the wheels are

Amazing how lucky some new members are. I wish I had a set of those for my car. Hopefully his friend's wheels are straight and undamaged. These wheels are over 50 years old, so get them verified before running them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

You don't need a balancer to check OOR (out of round)

Take a front wheel off of your 914/911 (anything with 5X130), push the pads back a tiny bit, then bolt wheels on and spin.

If I was selling those I'd include a 10 second video for each wheel being spun.

A simple fixed pointer near the bead flange is helpful.

Mark them with a piece of masking tape and a number.

They are more valuable if you can prove them straight.

PM the guy, wonder if it’s a POG I know…if so, maybe I can swing a deal. Wonder if they’ll fit over my carrera brake setup (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I'll see if I can get the spin videos this weekend. My local garage said he can't test the tires with his tooling without the tires. I thought getting rid of old tires would help the process!

I'll try to get videos added this weekend. I took the rims to my local shop to be spun tested. He said his tooling requires the tires to be mounted to the rims. I'll see what I can do

All, I've removed any balancing weights and spun tested the wheels, finally! All four seem to be within normal tolerances and are in great shape.
