3rd row down, extreme right. Fuchs. Looks like the same picture as posted above. There were posts about new style Fuchs about a year ago, IIRC.

they are the same picture
but 5x130
Maybe my calculations are off
i thought theyd be 5x108 or 5x112 not as wide as 5x130

Yeah, they don't look like 5 x 130mm.

I temp put them off my runtrod site down. But I could remember someone re manufacturing them as well as stated a few threads above, I think that's where I got the pict from?? Maybe from billet aluminum if I remember right?

I search for the Opel Omega but couldn't find any pict of the same wheels on the car, any picts?

From what i have read (ie - may or may not be true!), they may have actually been made by Fuchs, and they may actually be forged. They are quite rare though. They are 5x110mm bolt pattern apparently and 7"x 15".

Not a good pic, but here you go...

There are some on German ebay too.

hey thanks guys, those are them ! the pic I have is named Fuchs 001 and I'm shure I didn't re name it.

they look sweet but too small and rare to bother hunting for I spose. I probably found the pic on ebay some time ago.
