Thanks for the help. Im looking at buying a 74 vert. with these rims on it. This will help with dishing out the cash for the car.

The 4 lugs do not carry the premium that the 5 lugs do. Unless they were in amazing condition, they come up on the Samba and eBay for $50-$100 each

Those are Sprint Stars manufactured by Lemmertz Wheels. They were sold through the Empi name back in the late 60s and early 70s. Originals had a Steel outer hoop while recent reproductions by Flat 4 of Japan are made of Aluminum
