What is this part called?
15″ x 8″ ET0 GT Sprintstar 5×205 Steel Wheel, Black and Chrome Finish
What does this part do on a VW?
This premium-quality GT Sprintstar steel wheel is designed to give classic Volkswagen models an aggressive period-correct Cal-Look appearance while maintaining the durability of modern steel wheel construction. Manufactured by BBT, this 8″ wide low offset version creates a deep dish stance and dramatically wider track width, making it ideal for serious custom builds and rear axle applications where maximum visual impact is desired.
Inspired by the legendary GT Sprintstar wheels that became iconic during the 1970s custom VW scene, these wheels combine authentic styling with improved manufacturing quality and materials. The ET0 offset pushes the wheel outward significantly compared to standard factory wheels.
Please note:
– Due to the width and very low offset, vehicle modifications may be required to fit these wheels.
– Only suitable for rear fitment on vehicles with short axle swing axle suspension set-ups.
– Stretched tyres may be necessary for clearance
