Okay, now that I know that these wheels are *not* 8" wide, but 7 1/2", I'm
rethinking their sale...I'd appreciate some advice here.

My 3 season wheels, as of the first week of September, will be a set of Oz
Nova 17" wheels, and Kumho tires. They will *not* be used in the snow. :)

I bought a set of 16x7" A4 5 spoke wheels to be used for snow tires. I like
the look of these wheels, and have a set on my wife's A6 wagon. I didn't
think I wanted to use the Avus wheels because they were wider...but a half
inch isn't going to make much difference.

Personally, I like the look of the A4 wheel...it's cleaner. However, I don't
know whether they'll fit over Bira System 3 calipers, which I hope to do
this winter or next spring. I'd hate to sell the Avus wheels and then find
the A4 wheels incompatible with the System 3.

I'm on the horns of a dilemma here...would appreciate your thoughts.

Also, btw, what do I use for wheel bolts for the Oz Novas? Should I use the
OE bolts and get a set of plastic covers, or is there a better solution?

Thoughts appreciated!
