-- Well, I think I'm getting there:

I saw some pics Ed K. sent me, and though the 17"s on my car look a wee
little bit on the small side to me, the same diameter on his car look
pretty damn good... So as I have been for the past 14 months, I'm
holding out for just the right size and style set of used but not beaten
wheels, and am willing to go either 17 or 18, especially now that the
latest report is the DTM had 18" stuffed under there.

I forget the exact model # for HRE, but the BBS version that I think
looks pretty close is "LM".  iForged and Fikse have similar patterns as
well.  Anyway, the wheels on my car are always for sale, if anyone's
interested...
