On eBay Germany is a set of 4-lug Fuchs wheels for sale, which looks somehow strange:

They have Fuchs markings, but they look different in some details.
Compare just these two pics:

The say "forged" with the Fuchs logo on the front. I wonder if they made this variation so they could sell on the open market without Porsche legal problems.

They look neat. I would love to have a set in my collection.

Those are odd, at first I'd think prototypes, but if that "74" is a date it looks like 1974 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

"5J x 15 ET 41mm" stamped in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Well, the normal so called "Babyfuchs" have 5,5J x 15 ET 40 mm. That looks really mysterious.
Is it an H2 wheel?
