How many do you need? I have some OG 4.5 wide 5 sprints that I recently imported from the U.S.

Really only wanted to sell 2 but would consider selling 4.

PM me if you're interested.

Are the sprintstars OG or repro steels? How much do you want for them?

Repro Sprintstars are alloy not steel

Original's are steel and worth 500 or more each in wide 5

Sorry mate, but you can buy repro steel sprintstars. Have a look on the CIP website!

There is/was a set of 4 chrome BBT 4.5 repros for 600 US on theSamba currently. Very good value even considering weak AU dollar. The guys I used to import my OG sets charged about 50 per rim all up including all the taxes etc. Only downside was the time it took. (Just over a year for a container to have enough stuff to go to Sydney Port. GC containers go monthly)

Even when the dollar was better, the prices asked for OG wide five are still ridiculous for a complete set. Would never do it again.

BBT replicas have slightly less definition in their stampings, but still unbelievably good quality for a repro wheel. More than 90% of VW guys would be hard pressed to tell the difference unless both wheels were next to each other for comparison.

USD$ 120 for bbt steel sprintstars from Cip1
Cost me aud$100 ea for air freight to WA thru a local business that imports parts
Their freight charges are expensive
Lots of different offsets to choose from
