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?

I have seen this car in person about a month ago as the shop is 30 mins from my house. The car went through a restoration over 10 years back. It is "ok" and should not be commanding the money they are asking. The "Flemings Garage" have nice employees, but they are salesmen through and through. They do have a resto shop below the garage that works on the cars that come in.

As far as the wheels the 2 pics with wide 5 are photoshop. Not sure why they used those pics. It looks bad.

Anyone looking to potentially buy this car should see it in person as it does have some bubbling in the paint in areas. While they are cosmetic and wouldn't greatly detract from enjoying the car it does drop it down from even the price they are currently listing of 20k. I have a feeling they over paid for the car when they bought it.
