I did a net search and there does seem some variance around on price ... someone on the Cal-Look forum was saying they could be under £100 each - Im expecting painted to be cheaper than chrome? Noone 'actually' has them ... yet!

BBT are selling the chrome for Euro 129.95 each with cap, but no bolts.
KK are selling for £150 each with cap.
First batch is nearly gone but thats mainly to dealers so get them while you can. Picking mine up from Bob.

Thought Id drag this thead up again

The BBT sprint finally arrived at BBT, and were a bit of a let down, it seems. The chrome wheels were all chromed before they were welded, so they all require stripping and re-finishing, where/why/who this falls to, Ive no idea :?
The painted wheeels, due to be delivered in silver with black detail, all arrived in primer, so again all require refinishing, but obviously its an easier task.
The painted wheels have now been released, and some places have them, K'n'K had them on the Blog last week and T2D now have them -

Dirty Harry on here has handled the wheels at K'n'K and apprently they are well made and run very true, so are technically made very well.

I understand the price has been reduced to about 80 euros per wheel now, as the finish is as it is. As far as I know the chrome rims will not be released any time soon. BBT's Blog hasnt been updated since Jan 27th due to inetrnet issues, so direct news is slow.

T2D will have some rims, finished, at Dubfreeze this weekend, so it'll be interesting to check 'em out. I know they refinish/detail Fuchs to a top standard, so these will be spot on, I reckon.

Dragging this up again , but do these rims have a good offset , ie do they keep a good tuck ??

 

[thru_a_lupe]

im wondering the same.... but will be able to tell you in a week or so!
measured them against sa sprints and they are exactly the same give or take a few millimetres.....

These are BBT's with mrwhitewalls stripes

How much are original Empi ones worth in fair condition. I've just been offered a pair for £250. Seems a bit steep.

Read the posts on the first page, original Empi ones (as long as they are genuine and not repros) fetch over £1000 so £250 is a bargain, to be honest that sounds like a repro price for second hand MWS ones or similar,

 

[Heebee_GB]

A £1000 a pair!?!? As Bannatyne always says...i'm oot.

They do have empi stickers on them, but must be repos.

Wow, great work Ant, these look amazing with your handy work. 8)

The off set on the 4.5s is better than any alloy wheel around afaik, with a narrow beam they just disappear! As ant has shown

Originals are about £1k for a full set, not a pair, prices vary depending on widths and whether they've been altered etc.

Interested to see as i think i lost tuck when i put on SAs in place of my Splitty steels

To be honest radars used to be my favourite wheels but Sprintstars are a classy old school wheel, my bus has got a set of bbt sprints and I wouldnt change them for anything else, the bbt sprints on mine had to be taken back and re detailed due to the poor finish from the factory 8)

 

[thru_a_lupe]

daaaammmmnn, thats a sexy look right there!!!!
love it!

currently detailing some bbts myself, fancy a change from the sa's for a while....
