bottom ones aren't sprint stars. Real sprintstars have the lines closer together, so mor elike pairs of 4, instead of 8 lines equally apart. And Sprintstars don't have the smaller lines in between the main lines.

The top one, I've seen an example before for VW but have it listed as unknown, so no further info on that neither. They look to be European decent though. They look similar to Alleycat Crosspoke rims though, maybe a newer version of it??

Alleycat:


similar unknown rims


Sprintstar:

What are they? Well the wheels in the bottom pic say Campagnolo on them don`t they? I`m pretty sure that would be the maker. Campagnolo or "Campy" is also famous for their bicycle components.

Thanks for the ideas.. Yeah the bottom one does say Campagnolo
but that means nothing to me..
A guy here in Italy is trying to sell sets of each ones..But I am not there to see them, so just pics..
He is asking 300 euro a set..so about $400 dollars...
I like the look of the bottom ones..

Well thanks
