This wheel was specifically designed for a married customer. He wanted Fuchs but his wife wanted BRMs. As is so often the case with compromise, no-one actually gets what they want. :lol:

:D at john. They are called fumagallis and made i brazil in the 60,'s and 70's. Jc whitney offered them in the usa for 10 each and dollars each. These days paying 2000 dollars for a set is not unheard of :shock:
