4.5" Chrome and Black Steel Sprintstar Wheel (+15 Offset)

High-quality reproduction GT Sprintstar steel wheel manufactured by BBT, finished in classic black with chrome highlights for an authentic period-correct custom VW look. Measuring 4.5 inches wide x 15 inches diameter with an ET15 offset, this wheel is manufactured in the classic Wide 5 stud pattern (5×205 PCD) for early aircooled Volkswagen models.

Designed to fit pre-1967 Wide 5 vehicles and early Baywindow models up to 1970, these wheels combine vintage styling with modern manufacturing quality and strength. The iconic Sprintstar design became one of the most recognisable custom VW wheel styles of the 1970s and remains hugely popular on Cal-Look, street custom, and restored classic Volkswagens today.

After more than two years of development, BBT successfully reintroduced the legendary GT Sprintstar wheel with exceptional attention to detail. Manufactured from high-grade steel, these wheels provide excellent durability and rigidity while maintaining the original appearance enthusiasts expect.

The black painted centres with polished chrome highlights deliver a timeless custom look suitable for Beetles, Splitscreen Buses, early Baywindow Buses, Karmann Ghias, and vintage Buggies. Every wheel includes a precision-made steel centre cap and is supplied in a specially designed BBT protective box.
