I will just put a couple of pics, if you're interested in the wheels you find the full ad at the following link: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=408663

Steve's monotone 4-bolt Sprintstars

Here we are again... first of all thanks for the 500 visits in just 5 days... thanks a lot. To celebrate this event, here you are new pics. These wheels' owner is Steve, and I met him on www.thesamba.com
Let's see what he says about them: " I tend to agree, Sprintstars really ARE one of the most beautiful wheels madeas far as custom wheels go. The thing I like about them is that they don't have the "harsh angularity" that the very popular BRM/BRM replicas have--the Sprints seem to have "softer edges," which, to me, go better with the graceful curves of old VWs, like Bugs and Ghias. Just my feeling anyway. The fact that they're *steel* (the originals anyway) also appeals to me on some level--maybe more of an "old school" type of thing...

I've done refinishing projects on both 5-bolt and 4-bolt in the "standard" two tone rally wheel silver w/dull black highlights (wow, the masking job on 4-bolters is a lot more intensive than for 5-bolters), also some monotone silver 4-bolters, which, to me, allowed the slots to stand out a bit (they kind of get lost in the blackness otherwise).

The latest look I'm anxious to try is glossy black monotone, with chrome lug bolts & caps. Here is my set of 4-bolt narrows, as freshly painted last fall (not sure what kind of tires I want to put on them yet, though)

EMPI GTV beetle from USA

Hello.....

Hello everybody,
First of all I’m sorry for my English!
I think that the Sprintstar Blog’s is a very good idea and it is a pleasure for me write on it.
I have buy my wheels from a guy here in Italy and I know that he have been bought its in Switzerland.

I like this wheels very much, in effect I have them a lot of time before my beetle.
Now, after some work days’, this is the result!!

Hi Everybody!

Hi everybody!
First of all, thanks to Enrico (Maggiolino84), for creating this blog.
I am "the other guy", who is enthusiast of Sprintstar wheels, and who will put a series of them under his Superbeetle.
Now my Sprintstar, 4,5"x15 for the front axle, and 5,5"x15 for the rear, are totally black, but they will become black and grey before going under my bug.
Asap other Italian sprintstar owners will post their car's pics, and I hope to post mine next week.

My beetle... obviously with Sprintstars

Here is the first post. My 1986 Jubilee Beetle, with its "brand new" Sprintstar wheels. I bought these wheels from a guy here in Italy, but I know they have been imported some time ago from USA. Those wheels are original, their size is 5,5" X 15" and I think they fit perfectly on my little Bug :-)
