Brad, tri stars except for some mold changes are the same wheel that has been available since the 60's. so they are considered vintage correct. they are also a reasonably priced wheel .
the van k's and douglas aren't era correct for anything except sidewinder.
so if you are building a era correct kart go with the tristars.
to me using spun rims on older karts is ugly anyway but that's just my opinion.
also there are repops availble for rear engined karts and margay star rims are considered "correct" for about anything but dead axle karts.
of course there is no rule against spun rims being used they just look funny on most every rear engined kart to me.
