the painted wheels were silver rims and spokes and black background. No real paint code, just shiny silver and gloss black.

... the widths look like 5.5s and 8s.

Size is indeed 5,5 and 8. I am going to take out the hart/center of the 8 and put them in standard 4 bug rim.

before you go and waste good original sprint stars, especially the 8s, sell them to me. Not many of them around.

Since I dont have a buggy I will just re rim them. DaveM couldn't swap so these 8s will turn in to 4s.

I see diferent collors used on Sprintstars and would like the original collorscheme... shiny silver is there in lots of shades..

I have a set of deeps also, can I just remove the centers and put them in the barrel of a stock wide 5 smoothie rim?

Always check the inner size but if my sources are correct it is possible. I am going to measure the wheels tonigt so I can inform you about that.

Inside barrel diameter is 33,5 centimeters in my 8j Sprintstar as well in standard 4j rim.

Kai, I know the place you talked about. When the 1970 bus is finished this summer I will go to the place with the 4j standard rim and the 8j Sprintstar and ask if he can make it happen.

Kai or anybody else,

Can you post a picture of your 4,5j 5 lug Sprintstar with detailed the outerside of the rim?

I am trying to find out if they are very much different from the stock 5 lug 4j bug rim. (see topic in dutch overhere: http://www.flat4free.be/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15514)

Greets en thanx Dennis

Black is VW L 41

Varnished after painting two colors.

4 lug 4.5" are pretty easy to find in Belgium.
5 lug wheels on the other hand...... Shocked

Chrome.

Make sure you use a rim that has a bead lock on it, most 5 lug beetle rims don't. I had mine done at Stockton Wheel.

Don't forget, you will need one for a spare.

Did you have stockton chrome the center and them weld it into a new outer rim? How much per wheel do they charge? I wnated to have mine chromed originally, but was going to just paint them for now.
