The german Carat alloys are exact the = same than the north american.
The wheels on http://kfz.frrepage.de/rfeussne= r 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.

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=53710= 7559
