4.5" Chrome And Black Steel Sprintstar Wheel (+34 Offset)

Premium-quality reproduction GT Sprintstar steel wheel manufactured by BBT, finished in classic black with polished chrome highlights for the ultimate period-correct custom VW appearance. This version measures 4.5 inches wide x 15 inches diameter with a higher ET34 offset and features the traditional Wide 5 stud pattern (5×205 PCD) used on early Volkswagen models.

Designed for pre-1967 Wide 5 vehicles and early Baywindow models up to 1970, the ET34 offset positions the wheel further inward than ET15 and ET25 versions, making it especially useful where additional outer wing clearance is required. This can be beneficial on lowered vehicles, narrowed beam setups, or applications using wider tyres while still maintaining the iconic Sprintstar look.

The GT Sprintstar wheel is one of the most recognisable custom VW wheel designs ever produced, originally made famous during the Cal-Look era of the 1970s. After extensive development work, BBT successfully recreated this legendary wheel using modern production techniques and improved steel construction for superior durability and fitment quality.

Manufactured from high-grade steel, these wheels provide excellent strength and reliability while preserving the authentic styling enthusiasts expect. The black centres combined with chrome detailing create a timeless appearance perfect for Beetles, Splitscreen Buses, early Baywindow Buses, Karmann Ghias, and vintage Buggy projects.

Every wheel is supplied complete with a precision-made steel centre cap and packaged in a specially designed BBT protective box.
