Are there any good threads showing the different reproduction Sprintstar wheels sizes and offsets? I did find this one thread, with some nice pictures, but I was hoping for more. I was thinking about some 4.5 inch +34 ET fronts and 5.5 inch +10 ET rear for my Berry Mini-T. My current wheels are 5 inch +25 front and 7 inch 0 ET rear, so this would move the wheels in 9mm front and 10mm rear.

BBT seems to be showing the same 2 pictures for all the Sprintstar wheels (chrome and painted.) That seems pretty common with vendors. I decided to do a little more web searching and must have struck the right Google search phrase (sprint star wheel ET10.) There where a number of examples where the wheel sizes where listed.

I finally found a good picture of a set of them in 4.5 ET34 and 5.5 ET10. This was posted on TheSamba a couple years ago by "50ate".
Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

I wish they'd repro'd 8 inch ones for the rears of more traditional buggies. Maybe I'll get some widened one day.
