Charlie!!!  Your alive!!!

I haven't seen or heard from you in years (unless I've missed past posts
you've sent recently).  Anyways, glad to see you are still around and
occasionally on the list.  Hadn't heard from you since the famed "Charlie
Springs" that you made for listers a few years back.  Have one in my car
now.

Anyways, I think you are right on the wheel covers.  I wish he were more
descriptive or had a photo though.  I may get them for my 200 if they are
new though.... at $20 not a bad deal.  I'm planning on refinnishing them
soon.  But, at $58 each....WOW!  I could buy a new set of alloys for that
much.  My only concern is that most V8's I have seen didn't have the BBS
wheels.  A few did, but most seem to have the flat aero-type wheels albiet a
little wider than the flat 200 turbo wheels.  So, no lug bolt covers.
Maybee they are some sort of mock OE wheel hub cap for winter steel rims.

Would be nice to replace those cheesey things my mom has over her steel
winter wheels on the A6.
