Title: Re: rostar wheels Post by: Lids on October 29, 2009, 18:17:56 pm I have never liked those wheels, they are just like the wheels found on 70's British cars. I find it funny when they are referred to as South African Sprint stars to try and make them sound glamorous.

I find it funny when they are referred to as South African Sprint stars to try and make them sound glamorous. Horrible, they remind me of rusty rubber bumber MG Midgets.

Title: Re: rostar wheels Post by: danny gabbard on October 30, 2009, 02:12:40 am I thought they maybe part of a new bumper system
Title: Re: rostar wheels Post by: christ4 on November 02, 2011, 19:19:34 pm I have now a question on South african wheels.
Does anyone knows what rim Offset i Need for a 5 1/2 x 15" rim? What Looks good in the rear? My Plans are 4 1/2 in Front and 5 1/2 in the back. Car is a 59 Bug. Hope you could help Title: Re: rostar wheels Post by: Zach Gomulka on November 02, 2011, 19:27:30 pm I think they were only made in 4.5" widths. Anything else will need re rimming.
Title: Re: rostar wheels Post by: 71CALRIPPER on November 03, 2011, 08:09:35 am Would any body be interested in a bulk load of centres for these, by that I mean the whole wheel centre...You can make what ever width you want then... PLUS easy shipping.
Title: Re: rostar wheels Post by: christ4 on November 03, 2011, 12:40:02 pm I think they were only made in 4.5" widths. Anything else will need re rimming. I have 4 4 1/2" rims. I will weld 2 of them in 5 1/2". Thatīs my plan. I have thought someone of you have welded the rims in 5 1/2" and have a idea for the rim offset! Title: Re: rostar wheels Post by: Zach Gomulka on November 03, 2011, 16:26:04 pm Ah I see. IRS or swing? Short or long axles? What size tires you plan on running?
