Can't decide what wheel to run with...
Empi style black five spokes or sprint stars.
watcha think?
heres my bug, but now sportin' smoothies and lowered a lot more.



Now here are some pics from the gallery I found. Not exactly the same color or model of my bug, but close.





I'm leaning towards the sprints..........

Personally, I love Sprints. They take me back to my youth.

Definitely sprints!

:D

Do the repops of the Sprints have the deep dish like lip like the originals be it 4 or 5 lug?

KILLERWATT Thu Dec 06, 2007 9:08 pm

4 lug sprints...They're affordable,they look good, they wouldn't be repop and they're appropriate for your car.

Wide 5 wheels on a fatchick gives me schpilkes.

Are you calling my chick fat? :lol:

I though about the 4 lug sprints, but I really don't like them. Now, the five lugs are bad ass!!

Sprints are badass for sure.

Sprints or polished or chrome 5-spokes.

The black 5-spokes look wrong with a red or orange car.

Agreed.

I have a set of chrome 5.5" 4 lug Sprints if interested.

Could use a little cleaning, and the black repainted.

THE SPRINTS !!!!! I LIKE THE SILVER SPRINTS BETTER THAN THE POLISHED ONES BUT I WOULD TAKE SOME ANY WAY!

Kman07 Sat Dec 22, 2007 3:43 pm

I would definitely go with the sprits empi five and eight spokes are gross .

Hotrodvw Sun Dec 23, 2007 12:16 am

Sprints........I run 5 spokes. :roll:

Well I had this problem a couple of years ago and this is the way I handled this rather pleasant dilemma....
I forgot the camera at home but Mr Tero Virta from Finland shot some pics of my red T1 -63, check it out at these links they are from Bug Run in Sweden back in 2002.

Looks like two different cars. Pretty cool idea. How many people kept walking circles around your car?

Alan Willis Tue Dec 25, 2007 4:46 pm

Thats been done in the MiniTruck scene years age. Some people even took it one step further and different airbrush designs done on either side. Cool trick,but by no means a new idea...

cln60rag Wed Dec 26, 2007 2:19 am

sprint stars for sure, i think black 5 spokes are way played out.

dubtype1 Wed Dec 26, 2007 6:45 am

Well, I've decided on a different route. I'll post up pics when I get my new shoes on!
