If we look back, I think we can see that any time that a "repro" wheel has come out, it only seems to make the originals worth more. At least with wheels that have limited availability.

And again quality shows!

I have been looking at the new cosmics at DDD. They are nice, but not nice enough to buy them. They have a very machined look, spokes seem a bit to wide and the angles from center to spokes to outer rim are ... well, angles. I guess they were the german versions and judging from the pictures above the MWS ones could well be exactly the same one, their Chinese factory probably used the same molds as always.

When looking at the single picture of the JGE ones it seems they look quite a bit nicer. gone is the machined look (on image!) and the spokes seem to be more accurate. Congratulations!

So Cal Imports has them. They look like shit compared to Mangels and that is saying a lot.

Quote from Clint Eastwood movie Rookie, "everyone that does that for classic car should have his ass removed", applies to those Fuchs repros  Cheesy

i have always liked cosmics and have had hundreds of sets, i dont buy too many these days
i used to buy every cosmic i could find in any pcd then when someone found my site loooking to buy cosmics i could provide them with the wheels they wanted, normally at the same money i paid + the shipping
i have tracked down odd wheels to make up sets, tracked down wheels for insurance jobs to replace damaged ones in an RTA
i have sold them to canada, usa, japan, australia, france........
