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

Mirko's Burdigone

Here is what Mirko says about his bug: "Burdigone is a Blue German '75 beetle. It has 255/60/15 tyres (with 8" Sprintstars wheels) in the back and 205/50/15 tyres in the front (we are preparing 6,54" Sprintstars for the front tyres).
We can call it a little muscle-car since it's big and the engine's got a lot of power. It's a 2276 turbo with 2 48 carbs. Its gearbox is made to be mainly used on highways. By the way it's a very beautiful car to park in front of a pub, and it leaves all those thugs with their Golfs, Mazdas, ecc breathless, since I leave them all back at the traffic light. I own it since 2004, and I use it mainly to go to meetings all around Italy.
