^ Was Euromeister an Automotion brand that sort of lived on after Automotion was sold, and maybe sold again?



Yes

Yes


Hmm. Looks like the Euromeisters are available—sort of—through Rose Passion/Automotion, but not in the U.S. anymore? The good news is Porsche is selling real 16x7 forged Fuchs, at least in the 911 offset. The bad news is they're 3-4x the price Euromeisters were.

The Euromeisters/R888s look great on your car—how much work was required at the rear fenders to get them in?

Do you have a link for the Euromeisters, I can't find anything on their site.

^ A wheel as ahead of its time as the 914 it's bolted to.

Fifty years later, the Mahle Gasburner and the 914 remain ultralights among Porsche's production offerings.

Listing them at $624~ each, but hard to figure out if they're replicas, real, new, restored, etc. A quick bit of crawling led to the Bird Board, with a thread that said Rose Passion bought Automotion and started raising prices and no longer selling the wheels in the U.S. I wonder if that was a precursor to Porsche and Fuchs getting back into the game with the real thing?

The link says they are original Fuchs wheels. I hate the rose passion website. They almost force you to pick a car to do a search. My car has 944 parts, 2002 911 Turbo parts, 2008 911 tiptronic parts, and others. Picking a single car/year doesn't work for me.

I was able to find this. It might be what I am looking for. No brand, just "Rim"

I was considering these "Fake Cookies". Looks like they sell through Discount, but I have not verified that yet. Not sure about the offset either, but they seem to be targeting early VWs.

These seem to be "Fake Minilites":

That is more of a Panosport clone. Minilites never have a lug hole that happens to hit a spoke. That little design flaw drives me crazy.

Both Porsche & VW offsets. Also a guy on Samba was selling sets. A tad on the heavy side or I would be all over them. Painted silver of course.
