[s-cars] Snow tire size debate - 15" vs 16"

[Lee Levitt]

<sigh>

Yes, I know. And I have a line on a set of 4 2.7t wheels. Not sure 
how much the guy wants for them, but...

I really liked the OZ wheels, thought about trying a spacer...

I guess for now I'm good. You should see the stack of wheels and 
tires in my shed...I think I average 3 sets of wheels for each of 
the four Audis in the fleet, maybe more...

Lessee.

Summer wheels for each car. (5 per set)
Winter wheels for each car (5 per set)
Race wheels for my A4
Race wheels for my son's A6
4 extra OZ Mito wheels
3 extra BBS RK wheels
4 BBS RX 16" wheels

Yep, more!

And I don't want to talk about bicycle wheels. I probably average 
2 sets of wheels for each of my bikes...
