The Avus wheels do look mighyt good on that car (which looks pretty nice
itself, both body and stance).  I think it's the shiny dark color that
makes them especially suitable.  I assure you once you bring them out
close to the fender edge, you'll really like the look.

Still waiting on bus co.'s insurance appraiser to tell me what I already
know.   At least the central claims guy said he'd work with me on repair
price due to the car's rarity... S'long as it's not a cavernous abyss
between book and repair value.
