[V8] Audi A6 Avants and miscellaneouos wheels stuff....

[Ingo Rautenberg]

No pic needed. If they're ET35, then they're not the 5ktq or urq Fuchs
(ET45), but rather the UrS4/S6 wheels -- although those are 8x16 ET35's, so
I'm not sure what wheels those are. Also the UrScar wheels and the V8 and
Urq wheels are 5 lug. Weren't the 100's 4-lug?
