[s-cars] New Wheel Suggestions

I say get your hands on an original set of OZ Cronos (not to be confused
with the current Crono Evos), 18x8, magnesium, GORGEOUS, with OZ
machined into one spoke (or provate labelled by many others, including
Abt for Audi & Hamman for BMW), They are only $1,400 per, and the cat's
meow! Might still be available in Japan.

Anyway, back to reality. I never thought that I would be doing this, but
I am going to run an Audi factory wheel this winter. Audi / BBS RC,
17x7.5, ET 43. Anyway, my front rotor hats are 3mm thicker than stock.
So, anyone have a line on 3.0mm spacers (for the rear) and longer lug
bolts (I assume these RCs use the factory ball type seat). I know this
topic has come up in the past, but I never paid attention, well because,
I mean factory wheels? How pedestrian!

Too bad wheel manufacturers  couldn't all get along and use the same
type lugs.
