All noted so FL Avus wheels it’ll be then

:)

Happy for the correction, but to be clear - You bought the FL S8 with 18" FL Avus on, but removed those to run PF Avus over winter ?

Exactly. Not the winter I bought it (Jan 2013 IIRC), but I had a PF set by November 2013 with winter tyres on.

I've still got most of those tyres, now on the FL 18" Avus.

We had for several years, a family situation which meant that we HAD to be able to run either of our cars in almost any weather. So both the S8 and the Focus had separate winter wheels.
Once you get into the habit you keep it, there are quite a few advantages despite an initial outlay and some ongoing costs.
We no longer have that family constraint, but the Volvo will probably be moved to Michelin CrossClimates when the current tyres are reasonably worn.

To sell or not to sell, that is the question....
 

I have a mint set of Avus wheels (plus tyres, if required...), which I bought this year for Herman's summer role as a "Ronin lookalike" at this year's car events @ London Classics (see photo), Carfest North, and our annual meet last month.

I wasn't planning on getting rid of them, as they've sort of grown on me, but I could be persuaded to part with them, if you're looking for a really mint set of Avus 18s.

I have a set of 18" W12s already shod with Michelin PA4s, so they'll probably go back on the car instead come wintertime, and I could put my diamond cut 20" FE wheels back on in the meantime.

I’d normally refurbish whatever I got albeit they are for winter tyres rather than show car use.

Do you have a price in mind?

:)

Not really, as I said, I wasn't planning on selling them. PM me if you are really interested - and bear in mind they wouldn't be coming off until August at the earliest, after Carfest North is over.

Still looking!

:)

Good luck ;)

And you too ;)

If its just for wintets what about a set of sport rims.
