Bring back a true classic with a modern edge. The EMPI Raider is a faithful tribute to the rare 1960s Sears "Rader" mag wheel — the wheel that defined the look of Southern California Volkswagens half a century ago. This 17x7 version pairs a deep anthracite grey face with a fully polished aluminum lip, giving your air-cooled VW a stance and presence that nothing else on the market matches.

Wheel Care

Wash only when cool. Hot aluminum and chrome can bake soaps into the surface and cause permanent staining. Apply automotive wax or detailing spray regularly to protect the finish.

About the Raider Wheel

The original Rader mag was a Sears Roebuck exclusive in the late 1960s — wildly popular at the time and now near-impossible to find. EMPI's Raider revives the silhouette in modern sizes and finishes, built for show cars, daily drivers, and everything in between.
