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?

That's some funky photoshopping going on. Notice location of the petals... they are not the same from the angle views vs side views. And it looks to me the front/rear on driver side were swapped rear/front on passenger side. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
