I'm very happy with my ATS Cup rims (style 6) but I'd love to have some of those to swap them for whenever I'm in the mood for something different...

Can someone pass the Kleenex please
Sadly i can only tick two sets off of that list which are sitting in the garage at thye moment, but so much want on there. Makes you wonder why these were never common and people chose ugly wheels when so much awesome like this was available?
Missed out on stagered set of Gotti's from a TurboII earlier this year, or should i say he wouldn't take my cash out of auction and i wasn't prepared to pay the £850+ they went for
A mate has just bought a Capri with some 3 spokes on that i didn't recognise. Now i can tell him they are ATS Style 13

Great catalogue, VND
I wonder any of those are the mysterious 18-spoke R-Sport wheel, which I always thought was made by ATS.
Carmona VIP, 6x13, 6x14? Suitable cars include Volvo? Only 16 spoke though.
Mille Miglia Niki, 5½x13, Suitable cars include Volvo. 18 spoke!
Left column, second wheel:
Compare that pic to this:
That could almost be it ...
Cheers

You could fool me with those at first glance, or with the R&G RGB...

Not at all, the centres are different and so are the spokes.
Here are some R-sport rims. Car included...

I said similar, not the same.

Indeed... I apologise.

I'm glad I can hide myself behind the fact that Englisch is not my native language...

Nice wheels:

... not so sure about the rest of the car though. The only thing that's "R-Sport" about it are the wheels as far as I can tell.
