OK, they just arrived and I snapped a few pics:

2.85lbs unsprung weight more per wheel.  The old Aero wheel + tire was
42lbs.  The Avus (with bald tires) is 45lbs. + another 3lbs for the
spacers.  Could be better, eh?  But could be worse! ;-)

H&R part number is 5055571.  These are the DRA style, so you will notice
in the pics, it comes with new wheel bolts that will bolt these to my
hubs.  My old bolts will work just fine, and bolt to the spacer.  You
will also notice they are hubcentric, so the weight of the car is not
supported only by the sheer strength of the wheel bolts.

BTW, someone asked me where I got them:

Think I can get them installed on my car over the lunch hour?  We'll
find out!
