But are they a close enough match if one was planning on a non-black finish? Say I were to polish, paint or powder coat a pair of E-meisters and a pair of real Fuchs, would they look enough the same to get by on the same car the same way that Ron is running on his car pictured above?

They are so close, they fooled Grady Clay. He bent right down and examined the wheels on my backdated Carrera a couple years ago, and he never suspected they weren't real Fuchs. He loved the car and the way I finished the wheels.
The very same wheels have been repainted (again) and are mounted on this car I just sold:

I'm swapping the tires on to the original Fuchs wheels to be sold with the car, so I'm going to be selling my 7/8 x 16 Euromeisters for cheap. they should be available by Tuesday. If you're interested, PM me.
