Hi!

Today I finaly got what I've been searching for at least 5 years now!
Lamboghini-style looking 6" wide 'Momo' wheels.

They had been restored at some time and then spend their time in a shed in France.
I discovered them on eBay last month - and the price was right.
Had some troubles to communicate but got some excellent help (if you read here Alex, thank's again!).

And today, as said, they arrived. 6x10":

I'm so lucky!! :D :) :thumbsup: :genius:

Cheers,
Jan >_<

PS: It's not sure wheter they are made by Momo, Gotti or Fondmetal. In Germany everybody knows them as 'Momo', in France as 'Gotti' and in Italy as 'Fondmetal'. Maybe Fondmetal made them and they were sold by various brands like Momo & Gotti (it's uneconomical fot them to get all the casting machinery etc. for the amount of wheels they sell).

I say, they are beautiful! Polish the outer rim and keep the centres almost exactly how they are! >_<

:withstupid: :bah:

I payed a pretty reasonable price for them.
That's all I'm gonna say :closed:

'Sweetsers' wheels went to Germany as well.
I was close to get them too, but somehow it went wrong. :tumble:

cheers,
Jan
