This looks like a high tech version of the Avus wheels. Who's first?

Default It only makes sense that they share parts... Audi make very high quality stuff!!!!

About the only thing the Italians can actually make better is lovely sheet metal, and lovely leather seats.

Default You mean the phone dial wheels from the 928 and 944? Or the Fuchs wheels?

<img src="http://www.austinev.org/evalbum/455a.jpg">

You can see the Lambo heritage in this wheel from the 25th Anniversary Countach. They've done phone dials of one kind or another, from early in the production.

The Murci wheel

Late '60's Isolero wheel

My fav, a Diablo wheel:-)

Default The phone dial, or egg poacher wheels. The circular holes between the spokes..

I don't remember who, but eons ago (probably 20 years or so), someone referred to them as 'egg poachers' and it stuck in my brain.
