As was mentioned, the 7x15 refers to the Fuchs. The Ronal R8 7x15 was
definitely an aftermarket offering, I've seen several of the 4x108
variety in Europe, often with "Ronal" on the center cap instead of the
Audi rings. I think Tom Nas told me once they were offered in the Audi
accessory catalog in the '80s, so they could have been on the car since
new, but still an aftermarket dealer-installed option rather than a
factory part.

Following the discussion started by Jim Furdyn recently here is
some
information that may clear or cloud the issue regarding 7Jx15 wheels:
My car VIN is WAUDC0856DA900214.
I have the original Audi Owner's Manual and Warranty and
Maintenance
booklet both of which say 1983. The car however, as shown stamped on the
first
warranty voucher, shows a first use date of May 17, 1982 at
Herman-Miller,
Parsippany, NJ.
In the Owner's Manual it says:
Wheel rim sizes: Light alloy wheels 6Jx15 or 7Jx15.
On page 44.5a of the Bentley Manual it says:
Wheels
Standard 6Jx15
Optional 7Jx15
8Jx15
Appears Jim's, not having seen photos, could be rare optional
equipment.
