A wide body 356 replica is on Bring-a-Trailer with these rims. The car is built on a VW IRS chassis. The wheels are a 4 x 130 bolt pattern, as is the 914. Does anybody know who makes these rims? Replica seller has not gotten back to me. Thanx!

Not positive, but those look like the Cosmic wheels I saw on a car for sale in my area. Here's a link to a picture of a different 5 lug Cosmic wheel as well as a link for a 4 lug wheel, and they are nearly identical. Made in France if I remember correctly. So, either Cosmic or a knock off?

Note the position of the circumference bolts relative to the web. The mystery continues. |

Might not be 4x130, a lot of the 356 replicas use spacers/converters.
