    Wanted: 17 inch Avus

    After my pothole adventure I'm in need of a new wheel, this type:



    Would prefer genuine, but consider replica for the right (lower) price.

    To go on an S2 Coupe.

    I just need 1 although might be able to push to a pair/set depending on price... not loaded right now

    Are yours the S6 versions Dan? Or the S4 with spacers? Gutted for ya, that's the reason I got shut of the A8 sports as the pot holes screwed them.
    Just some finishing touches to do now

      Well... something weird's going on:

      When I got new tyres fitted, the guys there mixed the wheels up. When they came to put them back, they realised they weren't an identical set.

      The pair on the front have a different offset to the ones on the rear.

      I've also discovered that the one that got pothole'd was a replica. Now I'm wondering if the car had 4 genuine ones on, one got damaged and the front pair replaced with reps.

      That said, I'm not sure if any of them are genuine now, so I need to:

      a) Go check which, if any, are and
      b) re-look which have what offset

      Certainly something funny's going on... I'm wondering if someone didn't realise they needed spaces, because the guys who did the tracking said the front pair came in really close.

      Trying to keep track of this and everything else that needs fixing is making my head spin

        I have a pair of refurbished replicas, so mint.

        Attached them fitted to my old coupe prior to pranging it. This is the reason I have only 2 - the other 2 got buckled (which I should have got checked on a balancing machine prior to the refurb )

        So - interested?

          What's the offset on them? Do they require spacers? If so, are these included?

          How much do you want for them?

            I'm not entirely sure of the offset, but they did not require spacers and sat perfectly like stock 16"s, so I'd say ET37 but I'll check and confirm.

            As they are mint I reckon £80 the pair + shipping would be a fair price?

            Let me know. Cheers.
