holly ****, i changed my mind. it looks way hot in this picture.

hey, if you can make your car sit like this car, i change my vote.

nice choice. i like it. not without tires, it looked like a low rider in your picture. it looks better on the car with tires.
It's amazing what MAKEUP does for cars.

As much as I want exclusive rights to this wheel I think they are the best looking thing out there. Go for it but make it quick... the meet is in 2 days!

Bruce - life is GREAT. Have spent a lot of time at Willow and Buttonwillow. Car in for major rehab - also adding gauges to monitor car a little more closely.

How's everything with you?

Thanks for asking.

I have spent around 12k so far on the car, exhaust, stereo, trims, wheels/tires, PSS9, mats, tint, short shift.

It drives nice. Not as nice as your car. That drive you took me, man, that was scary ride.

I am still working for the software company I told you about. It keeps me busy.

I think the wheels look good, nice choice. They are definitely hot. But, don't decide just yet...keep looking.

yes, there may be something else i like out there, but i don't over analyze these kind of things...if it catches my eye, i grab it.
i always liked greyghost's car, and then i was at goodroads, and the avus's just stood out. i put two and two together, and realized that the wheels i liked were actually the same as greyghosts.

then we brought the wheel outside and i just fell in love.

i'm thinking it's a go...anyone want to make a loan for about 5 g's so i can pay for these wheel/tires ? jk

I think the "blocky" avus wheels go with the more squared look of a turbo... The slender stock carrera rims might match better with the sleek, rounded C2 body.

So IMO, the AVUS's look awesome on greyghost's car, but probably won't look the same on your ride.

man, i am so suprised that so many of you guys actually like the stock wheels better.

i was convinced i'd just keep the wheels stock....until i saw these avus's.
