Anyone out there who can tell me who makes or sells these wheels & if they are available in 15" X 5.5" with a wide-five 205mm lug pattern? Any help is appreciated as I have been unable to ID them even after 3 hours surfing the internet. I originally copped the photo about a year ago here on SOC. Thanks!

The stock large VW and drum brake wheel pattern is 205mm

Porsche disc brake pattern is 130mm

Stock Fuchs alloys are 130mm as are most of the replicas ,

At one time someone made Fuchs copies with the large 205 pattern ,

the link above  shows the 205mm copies

Added : the  205mm. copy alloys were made in the 1970s and were really not that nice

The casting was pretty rough  and the spokes were too “squared off” and just did not look right , they were made in the USA ,   The ones made now look a lot better.

I'm 99% sure you copped the picture from Bob Carley. @Bob: IM S6 can you help this gentleman?

Thanks for your help. Turns out the wide-five hubs protrude outboard so far as to require 2.5" tall center caps for clearance with a CIP1 or Empi "Fuchs-style" wheel. The only apparent way to avoid a somewhat hideous look is to swap out hubs & brakes at all 4 corners to accommodate the tighter lug pattern. This may be the only way to accomplish a cleaner, more classic Fuchs appearance using a VW wheel.

I get it, every once in a while especially when my life gets busy an the car is a garage queen the thought comes but then I think about all the cars out there and there is NOTHING that appeals to me. What can I say so maybe Stan is right.  Were done.

Maybe it is like...if you find a good one... you know... one shawl one wife your choice for life.       :->
