[s-cars] S8 Avus

Just dropped off the S6 at Road and Track Motorsport in MD to have the S4 
tranny installed, so of course I'm already looking to burn another hole in 
my pocket. Not a real important question, just dreaming aloud really, but 
does anyone know where to get the 18" Avus wheels that came on the earlier 
(euro) S8s? Ever since I discovered S cars I have been drooling over the 
Europa blue S6 wagon in the S-car.org <http://S-car.org> gallery with the 
old school S8 shoes. If you look, it's the one that has a woman standing 
beside the driver door in one photo. I think those wheels, no matter how 
heavy, are still the best looking wheels ANYWHERE, especially with the newer 
center caps. I'm looking to upgrade the stock 16s and would do almost 
anything for a set of the classic 18s (not the new ones from the biturbo 
S4's and V8 S6s, and certainly not the very new ones from the V8 S4s). I 
have been thinking the best route would be to locate an Audi salvage place 
in Europe (namely UK) and pay through the A$$ to get them and have them 
shipped here, but I just wanted to know if anyone had some
suggestions.Evenreplicas would be fine, I just NEED that classic Avus
look. Thanks.
