They weren't an EMPI wheel as such – they were made by Lemmertz in Germany, and available through VW dealers as an accessory. So, no EMPI decal. Sometimes a VW logo, sometimes Lemmertz's own logo.

all the 4 lug sprintstars I've seen around here had plain caps without any logo, but they do have a small "Empi" logo stamped on the backside!

As I remember the Sprintstars we sold through our VW Dealership came with no logo on the caps.

 We used to supply a UK sourced VW Foil decal that could be used if desired.

 I supplied two sets in the late '70's for two 1303 Cabriolets that were odered by US serving airmen on a nearby base. ;)
