What happens to the 5 lugs sprinstar? Are they available in US or Canada.
Any info about the price?

I am interested in the 5 nuts painted in 4 1/2 and 5 1/2

Is there thousands available or has there only been a certain quantity made? If I waited a year to buy a set is there a chance they would run out?

I have a few sets of the Grey and Black Powdercoated Wheels here in the US (So Cal) right now. The next production run should be in the US by Spring/Summer. Let me know if you are interested in a set now.

Rico, are you able to get the steel sprintstars bare, un-powder coated?

would any of these fit a standard 67 bus beam, or would they all need a narrowed beam? I have never got my head round et numbers. ta

does anyone else have a photo if these in good light flat to the front that is more recent?

I agree with 69Jim, that "bridging" looks like weld metal showing through.

I have seen plenty of OG painted ones and they don't look like that at all.

Has this been proved false, or has there been a change in the manufacturing process?

Also, I don't recall OG wheels having like a gazillion 1.5" welds on them.

OG wheels have fewer, longer welds.

Interested in a pic.

I'm also interested in if the barrels are available seperately for anyone who might want to restore some original wheels and only needs the barrels to weld to OG faces. :wink:
