5.5" Chrome And Black Steel Sprintstar Wheel (+25 Offset)

Premium-quality reproduction GT Sprintstar steel wheel manufactured by BBT, finished in classic black with polished chrome highlights for a timeless custom VW appearance. This version measures 5.5 inches wide x 15 inches diameter with an ET25 offset and features the traditional Wide 5 stud pattern (5×205 PCD) used on early Volkswagen models.

Designed for pre-1967 Wide 5 applications and early Baywindow models up to 1970, this wider 5.5″ wheel offers increased tyre choice and improved road presence while the ET25 offset positions the wheel further inward for additional outer wing clearance. This makes it especially suitable for lowered vehicles, narrowed beam setups, and custom builds where fitment space is more limited.

The GT Sprintstar is one of the most iconic wheel designs in the classic VW scene, originally made famous during the Cal-Look movement of the 1970s. After extensive research and development, BBT recreated this cult classic using modern steel manufacturing techniques and upgraded finishing quality while preserving the original appearance enthusiasts love.

Manufactured from high-grade steel, these wheels provide excellent strength and durability for both show vehicles and regularly driven classics. The black painted centres with chrome highlights create the unmistakable Sprintstar look that perfectly suits Beetles, Splitscreens, early Baywindow Buses, Karmann Ghias, and custom Buggy builds.

Each wheel is supplied complete with a matching steel centre cap and packaged in a specially designed BBT protective box for maximum protection during shipping and storage.
