A highlight of classics - tuning with Cosmic rims

The original Cosmic rims were then made only in England, but Cosmic no longer exists today. Therefore, for example, the rims were neither approved nor readily available for a Porsche in Germany. A Porsche dealer in England, however, wanted to have them for his cars then and so they were made. Especially popular and highly traded are original Cosmic rims in the Porsche bolt circle 5 × 130 which were produced for this English Porsche dealer. Tip: New rims for the car? It is important to pay attention to this before buying!

Meanwhile, there are the Cosmic rims for the Porsche with a German approval by the TÜV due to various replicas. However, the company Cosmic no longer exists, causing it NUR there are still the new rims from the other companies.
