What you guys think of SA Sprintstars
Jon:
I would not mind having a set of 13" DDS for the front of my looker when I go racing... but anything OVER 15" seem strange to me.
Rocket-Racing:
The most common SA Sprints are 15", but they come in 14" too (I need a set...).
Wouldn't call them cal-look wheels, but they can be cool on certain cars.

Arent they only 14"? If so, then no. IMO you gotta have 15" to be cal look!
Zach, 14" wheels are definitely Cal Look too. Think about 14" Spider mags (Empi 8-Spokes) and 14" Fuchs (as seen on Frenchys yellow Ghia).
Back to topic: I am not a big fan of Rostyle wheels aka SA Sprintstars, but they are period wheels and they are real. I like it if people put some uncommon stuff to their cars, otherwise it would be a bit boring. And think about Gasburners: I can't remember seeing a 70s car on Gasburners, but today they are with out a doubt accepted as Cal Look wheels.
Zach Gomulka:
I still think they look to small :) A 15" wheel fills the fender better, with the correct profile tire. Id like to see a set of 15" SA sprints on a cal looker- I think it could look great.
There are alot of wheels that are considered cal look today that werent back in the '70's... Cosmics (at least I think so!), Gasburners like you mentioned, 4.5" Fuchs (Ive talked to a Porsche guy who used to throw them away! He said nobody wanted those wheels!), Ronals, I could go on- but you get the point! As long as the wheel is VW or Porsche pattern (no adapters!) it can all be cal look today.

... and the most crazy thing 'bout it ... they were fitted standard on a south african bug!
