I believe Peter is correct; the USA got 15" basket-weave BBS wheels stock on
the '91 200q20v and '91 V8; there apparently was an optional 16" version of
that wheel.
BBS sells a similar style wheel in 17", but I'm not aware of it being an audi
part. In the USA, Audis were not sold with 17" optional wheels from Audi
until the last few years... certainly not in '90/91.
If I was to buy new wheels, I'd consider what my planned upgrade path is for
brakes, and make sure the new rims cleared them. Most "big brake" kits are
tight on 16" wheels...
I have seen many more high performance 16" snows; but now they make them up
to 18"... so tire choice should be fine for either size.
I don't have a parts catalog handy; but seem to recall UFO brakes being
offered through '93 or '94... perhaps by then a larger 17" wheel was offered
on the V8.
