If you're reading this post, you already know that the AOAI Forums are back online. There was a main server problem last week that we got resolved fairly quick, bringing back the main site, aoai.org and the shopping cart at aoai.org/shop, but several things got out of sync on this forum and either pages would not load or users could not post or log in. It is finally resolved today (Tuesday, July 9) and everything is back. You may notice some posts will show broken/missing images. I'm working to re-sync images with their posts and they should be viewable sometime this week.

they look like old Appliance brand wheels.... What is the serial number on the frame plate. That would let you look up the production order and see how it was originally equipped, ie: color, interior, etc.

There were only 3 AVX automobiles. All were 1997 models. The first is a coupe, the second is a convertible, and third is a t-top model. the 2001 to 2005 Avantis were based on the three AVX models and look similar, but I heard that none of the body panels on the 2001 to 2005 Avantis will interchange with the AVX models. https://www.theavanti.com/avx.html https://www.theavanti.com/bunting.html
