A4 rims on 200TQ?

[Dan DiBiase]

The wheels look great on both cars. I always liked those 16" Sport Package wheels on the B5 - they have a 'Minilite'
look to them. I also like the 5-spokers from the B7 that you have. In general, I prefer 5-spoke wheels for the symmetry 
with 5 lug nuts. I've had a couple of loaner B7's with those wheels - they are very attractive, although personally I think
the B7 cars seem to sit very high - maybe I'm comparing non-Sport Package equipped cars to mine with it. The extra
75mm or so in height really makes a difference to my eye.

Well, I haven't driven it yet, but the wheels seems to fit.  See the web page:

(I would have put in in the KB, but darn if I could figure out how to get
to someplace to enter it. And I logged in, too. I used to be able to do it.
Shrug.)
