The ones with the 2", or so, circles are indeed alloys. Pretty hard to find
this side of the pond. A lot of people don't like them, but I would love to
have a set on my doka.
Cheers,
Jeff

Wow, they are too! I looked through the pix of the 80 for sale and can
just make out the silver wheel in behind. I've seen them driving on vans
around here and thought they were real wheels.........The CLK wheels look
like 16" versions of the same thing.
The ones with the circles are real though, right?
