4.5" Chrome And Black Steel Sprintstar Wheel (+25 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 appearance. This version measures 4.5 inches wide x 15 inches diameter with an ET25 offset and features the traditional Wide 5 stud pattern (5×205 PCD) used on early aircooled Volkswagen models.

Designed specifically for pre-1967 Wide 5 applications and early Baywindow models up to 1970, this wheel combines iconic vintage styling with modern manufacturing precision and strength. The ET25 offset positions the wheel slightly further inward compared to lower offset versions, making it ideal for vehicles requiring additional wing clearance or a more tucked-in fitment.

The legendary Sprintstar design became one of the defining custom VW wheel styles of the 1970s Cal-Look movement. Following extensive research and development, BBT has faithfully recreated the original steel Sprintstar wheel while significantly improving manufacturing quality and finish.

Manufactured from durable high-grade steel, these wheels provide excellent rigidity and reliability for both daily-driven and show-quality vehicles. The black painted centres paired with polished chrome highlights create a timeless custom appearance suited to Beetles, Splitscreens, early Bays, Karmann Ghias, and vintage Buggies.

Each wheel is supplied complete with a matching steel centre cap and packaged in a specially designed BBT protective box.
