New Steering Wheel!
A new steering wheel for my 1302!
It's a brand new LeCarra, and it looks really good...
...I like it, I want it, I buy it!!!
Hmmm...now I need a new wooden knob for my shift lever...

about sprintstar
Hello! First of all, compliments for this wonderful blog!
I like sprintstar wheels very much, I think that they are the best choice for a Volkswagen beetle. In the last two years I spent some time to obtain informations about sprintstar 4 bolts, and now I want to share them with all you. Above all, you can supplement this text with any other knowledge you can and you have to rectify my mistakes.
Until now, I have possessed 12 original EMPI sprintstar (made by Lemmerz) and 4 FLAT4’s replica.
I can say that original wheels can be painted or chromium plated while the replica are polished.
The possible sizes (that I know) for the Empi are:
15 x 4.5 ET 34 or 41;
15 x 5.5 ET 0 or 6 or 26;
15 x 7.0 ET 0 or 16 ;
15 x 8.0 ET 0 or 16 or -25.
The only possibility for Flat4 replica is 5 x 15 ET 17.
I would like to know in which years Lemmerz have made these wheels, I think is about 1972, but I don’t know the precise years. Moreover, do you know if there are specific models of sprint star for beetle and superbeetle or not? And if there are, which are the differences?
Thank you to everyone! nick
