Are the EMPI and Mobelwagen stock style aluminum wheels the same?

https://www.jbugs.com/5x205-vintage-190-wheels.html

https://mobelwagen.com/collections/aluminum/products/520s-interceptor?variant=40673925562533

Why would Mobelwagen go to the effort of making something EMPI has been selling for years?

I'm looking to go to aluminum 15 x 5.5 for my 356, and wondering which way to go.

Blemish? Better china deal?

You're right, no way there are multiple manufacturers. Gotta be one and different quality levels or just different resellers

The EMPI website itself lists them as Mobelwagen wheels so it seems maybe they're just reselling them?
