Interesting photo. Must be in Europe. They have funny looking trailers with centered axles. That trailer may be aluminum. Trailer wheels might be Mercedes - also aluminum?
Car appears in a legal parking spot but the trailer does not.

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I’ve always liked that wheel a lot, and the Chevy Rallye (?) wheel on Corvettes and Camaros.
