1577 model, 10JJ15 4x130 EMPI Lemmerz Sprintstar, stamped 11/73
Funny that with these details nothing was found by google, but I found an old catalog from Lemmerz, so they do exist, and I have a pair. Bought many years ago from Poland, now I finally found suitable car to them. 
Cheers, Mikko from Finland

We've owned these sprints since 1975. They came with this car and have spent most of their life on it.

What is your masking tape you use to obtain such a quality work ? |

I'm running Lemmerz SprintStars on different cars since ca. 1980.
The red one is a 70 with 5,5J15et26 front and 55J15et06 rear. At the time I took the photo without engine.
The white is a german 67 (yes, 4-lug and disc-brakes front) with 5,5J15et06 front ant 8J15et16 rear.

Hi,
How can I paint the 4 lug wheels in black and gray. Which color goes first ?
And what are the original color references ? |
Paint the black first. Then mask off and paint the gray.

I just found this thread and thought I would share. 69 beetle with 5.5" 4 lug Sprint stars. I actually just looked this morning and found out they're originals made in West Germany.

I have always been a big fan of sprintstars. I have ran them on a couple of cars and will have a staggered set on my imp when I get around to building it.
My 66 had 4.5s and deep 5.5s and my 68 is running the same 4.5s but with the more shallow 5.5s

Here's something cool. First year production (1966) wide 5 sprint stars all dated the same 9/66 and all 15x4.5s bought from the original owner. These wheels have been together for nearly 50 years   and they are gonna stay together in my collection to be used on various vw's in my stable

My good buddy Todd gave me some tires to mount up on my 7" Sprint Stars.
Good ol' G60/15 Atlas Big Daddy bias plies that are almost like new. Some age cracking on the back sides but not bad. I won't drive on them as they are so old but will be cool for static displays.
