Name the 17" Fuchs
So just for reference...
What do we officially call these wheels now? There's Lindsey's, right? So do we call these Rota Fuchs, or Moses Fuchs? My vote is for Moses Fuchs.

'Rota Fuchs' makes the most sense to me. Moses was the prime mover on these, but I don't think he wants to be seen as the retailer. Rota also enjoys a good enough reputation that there's instantly a difference between them and, say, Performance Products Fuchs.
Has anyone talked to Wayne about offering these through Pelican?

Well, you can tip your hat to "Moses" and call them
Holy Fuchs.

As for the name, I like Rota. I don't need any more people saying Fuch Moses.

Well, I'd be inclined to change my vote for the sake of Moses/Mark.

Fuchs is a copyrighted name, so ultimately that won't officially work.
You could do a tongue in cheek with Foosh - as some have pronounced it before- repeat quickly 3 times "Rotafoosh,rotafoosh,rotafoosh!" It will end up being described as " A modern interpretation of a classic German design" Now with the addition of the 16's being made in China for Perfomance Products, Lindsey's , and our rims it looks like the market will be well satisfied for the larger "Fuchs style" demand

this thread is quite possibly the funniest thread I've seen in a long time on here. How about Rota Crucifuchs by Subydude.
