Obviously NOT! But it did take a lot of persuasion to convince people ...
...well at least some <pizzo> people that they weren't Ronal.
The problem was they are not marked anywhere as to who made them. Its only the literature references to Fuchs that convinced me (and others) that Fuchs was the manufacturer. Jimmy Pribble was wrong (and he was going to change his wheel page at one time).

There is a wheel for 4x108 cars that looks quite similar made by speedline.

If it don't say "GESCHMIEDET", then it's not the UrS Fuchs!
The real deal will be clearly marked 8JX16H2ET40, and "GESCHMIEDET"= forged.
Close but no cigar (this is the Ronal 4 hole version from a 95 Cabriolet)

Real deal- note GESCHMIEDET cast into rim at approximately 3 o'clock.
