Title: Whats The Difference?
Post by: surgerypending on February 28, 2007, 10:42:13 AM

Does anybody know what's the difference between the MSW 5 spoke Sprint Stars and the Flat4 5 Spoke Sprint Stars?
CIP sells them both and the price difference right now is about $60 per wheel. Is there a noticeable difference in the quality? I haven't seen them up close but the look the same.
Just asking because I was thinking about buying a set of the MSW wheels
Thanks
Gerry

Never mind...went and had a look at them myself....almost identical....5.5's instead of the 5\" flat4's

Gerry, I measured them both after you left and they are both actually 5\" wide.

if the msw sprint stars are like the msw brms, they  have clearcoat (at leasst the standard black ones do) so you dont need to polish all the time, but then again thats about as shiny as they get...
