The german Carat alloys are exact the same than the north american. The wheels on http://kfz.frrepage.de/rfeussner are german stock. The wheels shown in that brochure MAY be from Oettinger. These wheels are also used on the 10 Vanagons built by Porsche in the 80s. Raimund

Howdy. There was a Vanagon brochure on ebay last week that showed a van with what looks like an alloy wheel with 12, golf-ball sized, holes in it. The picture is still there at http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=537107559 Does anyone know what these wheels are and if they are still available?
those are the european version of the Carat alloy wheel. never sold in north america to my knowlege. chris
