just a little more waiting for....steel sprintstars (repro)

[baron]

the Rostyles look way better and the herd doesnt need to be followed!

you think? i think the shorter stubby 'spokes' of the sprint make them look much better than the longer 'spokes' on rostyles, each to their own though....

I really dont mind sprints but i must say that they are now everywhere, which is a real shame. Hey ho tho, still look cool but just overdone imo.

still better and rarer than empi 5's (remember them?!), fuchs or brms though - imho of course :lol:

each to their own innit :mrgreen:

Totally true dood, each to their own and all that :mrgreen: I think sprints look to chubby and make a van look fat in appearance, i love the spoke length of the rostyle 8) . They do suit buses these sprints thats a given, I just prefer something a bit different and if that means i have to copy thrualupe then i dam well will! :lol:

[thru_a_lupe]

alright boys!!! :shock:

back to the topic in question!!!!! :lol:

 

[Dirty Harry]

Even when they are not the same as the OG sprints in my eyes it's a nice wheel and for this price you can't even restore a set of OG's wheels!
I hope the quallity is ok from the first badge!
Knowing Bob a little, he is not selling crap.

Here are a few comments that where given on the BBT blog.


SMOKING HOT Steel Sprintstar sample arrived!

Because You’re on our Blog You know what’s happening at BBT HQ. Well here is the proof! Only minutes ago the courier delivered our very first sample of wide 5 steel sprintstar wheel, At this very moment of writing we started the testing already. It looks beautiful but has to be good as well… this brand new wheel has to meet the BBT quality label at least! Pre orders welcome!

Come to check this out at BBT Open House or at the BBT booth at EBI3. Our booth will be situated near “THE BRIDGE” this and many more new BBT products will be launched out there….

Hi there!

In my eye not one of the best ideas in the last time. As an owner of a rare set OG chromed Sprintstars see that its only for profit to produce such a wheel.

Thanks for comment Thomas. In our eyes real rare parts keep always their values, look at BRM’s, they doubled in price when Flat4 brought reproductions to the market. So now we can test the real rarity and desirness for the real sprintstars.
The fact we should work only for profit tells me You have no clue who we are and what we do… first we only make and reproduce what our customers are asking for. Second I think we’re more enthusiast as who ever. 22 years ago I traded in everything I had to start my bussiness driven out of my VW hobby and even right now I have several weeks a year I work over a 100 hours only to serve my customers with my VW passion.

always at your service

Hi there Bob, can you tell is this a close as possible replica or another spin on things? Any chance of a four bolt version. What you have come up with does look amazing.

Cheers.

Hey Ross

Thanks for checking in!

If You know BBT a little by now You have to know we only go for the full job, its real steel, no flimpsy alu, Chrome was tested to automotive standards in an 240 hours salt spray test… we started from a real one off course, and so to reply your question, Yes , its pretty close, we left the difference for the connoisseur, but he will have to kneel or bent over to check and see the difference… well they will be available in october, production started… by the way the production is made in no less as 6 steps! Three years of development at least leads to something…

we can’t wait ourselves…. another BBT excitment…
