Van Diemen split wheels on R5GT?

[Sam Fish]

Anyone ever seen some Van Diemen split (2piece I think) wheels before?
Look a bit like Ronal Turbos, but 13inch, and split rim.

Saw some today on a R5 GT turbo from Germany and they looked amazing!
Guessing they must be pretty rare, and wondered if anyone knew anything about them.....?

They llok a lot like a Copomotive Turbo, i think schmidt wheels are the only company that make somthing similar now which is th TH Line.

The 8x13's off certain formula Renaults fit and they are a nice two piece wheel, winston had a set fitted to one of his cars.

Five minutes down the road from me. Would be brilliant if I was in the market for some non-matching wheels without centre caps for £850.
