People with other cars will want to know the PCD (presumably 5*112 like normal D2 wheels), the rim width (e.g. 8", 8.5", 9") to check body/suspension clearances and tyre sizes and finally offset (ET) to see if spacers are needed.

Most wheels that fit straight on a D2 will be around ET45, but the exact figure should be stamped on the wheels.
And I think 18" Avus are usually 8" whereas FE's are 8.5" from a D2 or 9" if from a D3.
