I've seen that little number before. A pic of that specific one was put up for Dutch when he was busy trying to decide colour schemes for "Bobbie". I drooled then. I've drooled again. :hangloose:

LOL...dont worry Mr Sonday...good taste is acquired... :lol: Sprint Stars are one of the holy grail VW wheels, and this is clearly evident on the host of VW's you see them on from Split window cabriolets, to Ovals, late bugs, T2's... you name it!!

...they are definitely nicer than cookie cutters dont you agree? :mrgreen:
