What is this part called?
15″ x 5.5″ ET10 GT Sprintstar Steel Wheel, Black & Chrome Finish
What does this part do on a VW?
This premium-quality GT Sprintstar steel wheel is designed to give classic Volkswagen models a bold period-correct Cal-Look stance while maintaining the strength and durability of modern steel wheel construction. Manufactured by BBT, this 5.5-inch version with ET10 offset provides a more aggressive outward stance than factory-style wheels, making it ideal for custom builds that want improved track width and visual impact without going to extreme deep-dish fitments.
Inspired by the iconic GT Sprintstar wheels that defined the 1970s VW custom scene, this wheel combines classic motorsport styling with modern manufacturing quality.
The ET10 offset pushes the wheel further outward than ET34 versions, giving a noticeably wider stance while still remaining more usable for general road applications than extreme ET0 setups.

– ET10 offset provides a noticeably wider stance than ET34 factory-style wheels
