The JJ Vintage copies look the closest to the og's in my opinion, followed by the JGE version and then the CIP1/Midland/Empi version.

So the CIP1 wheels are made by the same manufacturer as empi and midland? same exact wheels basically then?

EMPI is going to start make Cosmics with a wide 5 lug pattern. I wonder how people will take to them?

I saw the ad on this site and they look good to me. I'd be tempted to pick a set up. I'm sure other opinions will start flying though.

I pulled the trigger and put a pair of the new Wide 5 Cosmic's (Cosmo) on my ride. I like them a lot. The cap need help. I call them CrAP'S. I'm still running my BRM's on the pass side.
