Used to know, when I had my Beetles, these were the wheels of my dreams. Lifted gently from Stuyizz's thread.   |

Sprintstar name I remember, wish I knew the SA name.
In SA they were worthless, and no one wanted them, which is why I liked them at the time.
Seeing as my bus is on 5 x 205's now, I was playing (Stupidly ) with the idea of a spare tet of wheels in banded steel.

The south african versions are 14" and the european versions are 15" so the design is slightly different.
The SA ones are still pretty cheap if you can find them due to the smaller size.

The SA ones are lemeritz, or something like that.
I believe some late 'empi' ones are the same but early empi ones were stamped empi.
The SA ones are also available in 15's, not all 14's.

They were the common Beetle wheel, and in 15 inches. I do not recall SA beetles ever having standard fitment 14's.... but I have been wrong before. Anyway, the ones in the bus above are what has my attention right now. |
