S8 Wheels
Are the current '01 S8 Avus 18" wheels the same as those on say a '98, except for the centre cap? If so, do the later centre caps fit the earlier wheels?

Andy, I have no idea whether the centre caps fit the earlier S8 wheels, but I thought I'd post a response so that you don't feel ignored.
When are you going to buy your S8 then ?!

Re: S8 Wheels
No, they are actually quite different. The new Avus wheels are 90 degrees from the center hub of the wheel and all edges are made with just a slight radius, almost square. The earlier wheels (see www.eisenlohr.com) are offset about 5 degrees forward towards the perimeter, much more like the orginal Avus show car wheels. All the edges of the spokes have a much larger radius. The center caps are an obvious difference.
I have both and I prefer the older style.
