[A4] Spark Control on 1.8T

[Doug Johnson]

I think I have 'sport' seats, in vinyl (er.....leatherette) but I definitely
have the standard wheels that Rocky likes so much.  (Mine are available,
Rocky!) I'd be up for a set of the stock 2.8 (5-spoke) wheels, if anyone has
a set they're using as paperweights. <fingers crossed>

So does your car not have the sport package Doug?    I'm not an 
automatic guy so I never paid attention, but I thought the sport package in
99.5 w/tiptronic came with the 3-spoke tip wheel....
