    So if any of you remember I got this no turbo no quattro 5k out of a junkyard in December.

  Nice looking car, Cody, even if it looks like it has Mini-sized wheels....! ;-) 

  But it doesn't deserve a mention in your sig??!!

Yeah, thats the second one down in my sig ;-). The -t-q signifies minus turbo and minus quattro, just to make sure everybody's on the same page on that. Heh an yeah I agree the 14" wheels are on the small side. She came to me with 15"x7.5" BBS wheels (real ones, not OEM Audi), but I didn't want to put new tires on them when I had just put brand new tires on my parts car before it went to hell in a handbasket, and by just I mean the tires had *17* miles on them. So I put the Audi BBS wheels on the red car to save some cash, but when it comes tme for new rubber again  I'm most likely going to go with the better wheels. Actually the previous owner who installed the BBS's even did a stud conversion because the lug bolts are too short to pass through the BBS's and still thread in. Of course if she were 5 lug I have 2 sets of B6 A4 Sport Package wheel 17"ers, but those would be too much for this car anyway.
