Wrong bolt pattern; the 5 x 130mm is pretty unique to Porsche and VW.

Yep,
The Turbo S Club sport wheels are forged and made by Fuchs. They are infact the last of Fuchs Forged wheels, for Porsche at least.

Don't suppose there are any lightweight VW 5 x 130mm rims that would look good on a 944?

I don't know if this is true or not...

Someone on here once said that Fuchs is the German word for Fox.

I bet that was confusing for the owners of a Volkswagen Fox (prelude to the Jetta) if it had Fuchs wheels.
