Checkout the lug patterns on the Fuchs on this car. Either I’m going blind or it shows standard 5 lug in some pics and early VW wide pattern 5 lug in others. I’m not sure how that could even happen unless some adapters were used. Are my eyes lying to me?

Yes, something very odd there. Proper Fuchs type sometimes and definitely not Fuchs another; on the SAME side. One would have to verify what actual wheels one is getting. I have a bad vibe on this outfit.
