was watching a great little documentary on the development of the wankel engine by mazda in the 1960s. this image came up at a point where discussion shifted to japanese focus on the US market and the foreign car "invasion". i grabbed a screenshot.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The NSU RO80 used forged Fuchs alloys.
The NSU Wankel went to market way too early |

The NSU Wankel went to market way too early  very sexy fuchs wheels too. some resemblance to 911 fuchs. this one is in the german technical museum. never seen the alloys in person on any of the ones here. my mates car has the steelies. not a lot came to aus so always been a very rare car down this part of the world.
