    Do these look like real or replica 15" Fuchs wheels?

    Do these look like real or replica 15" Fuchs wheels? There are no markings on the backside of the spokes. Thanks

    The corners of the petals are too sharp. That + no markings = replicas (at least to my non-expert eyes).

    Here you can see the more rounded corners to the spokes.

    Is that the 5x120 correct pattern ?

    They look aftermarket, probably Lillygard era. The outer shape is different and the windows are also different.
    If you are purchasing look closely at the window to spoke area, many cracked there.

    Seller indicates they are 5 on 130mm

    Yes, the seller indicates they are 5 on 130mm. I'm looking for some real 15x7 Fuchs, so I'm going to pass on these. If anyone else is interested in these fake Fuchs here's the link to the Portland OR Craigslist ad:
