Doug-
I don't understand your post.

The wheels on the ebay listing you mention are 18" RS-4 "type"
wheels, 9-spoke. S8 Avus are 18x8" ET48 6-spoke with the trademark
Avus styling. Perry's old car had what appeared to be A6 2.7T
centercaps.

Without knowing the Pearl S4 you mention, I can say with 95% certainty
that those are not real RS-4 wheels, which would be 18x8" ET20 or
thereabouts
and would stick way out of your wheelwells. They would also not be the
Audi "Celebration" package wheels on the 2001.5 A4 as those are 17x7.5
ET40,
IIRC.

Wild! I thought my car was Pearl? "those are definitely 18" S8 Avus
wheels" - Great, I love 'em (in the Summer) They're on the back deck in
clear plastic bags so I can see them before I drive the Ronal 5 spokes
with the snows. Got the 16"original Avus but they are very pitted,
probably car washes or bad maintenance - any hope for them?

Makes sense if Perry Eyges sold his wheels on Ebay and Henry Cha bought
them and put them on his (now my S4) sometime prior to November 2002.
This baby's mine now:

While we're at it - anybody seen my Emerald/Ecru 95.5 Avant around Ohio?
One of Bobby Rahal's Race Engineers bought it, funny Team Rahal's
dealerships don't include Audi, I wonder what David Letterman drives?

That's Perry Eyges' old Europa Blue S6 Avant-
those are definitely 18" S8 Avus wheels, although
with a different center cap than stock.

These are probably not S8 wheels, but they are 18" AUdi repros of some
sort. Stock ride height.
