[V8] New V8Q

[doubldz at aol.com]

Hello V8 Owners:

I recently purchased a 1990 V8Q and I have some questions....

On the only 90+ degree day this year in NJ, I found that I had no AC - hot air only. Barring big mechanical issues, I am hoping to get the system charged. Have most of you had your AC systems retro-fitted to use R134? If not, can I get the system charged any other way, Freon/R12?

Also, I followed the thread about V8 wheels. I have to admit that I hate the wheels that are currently on the car. Would consider keeping them for snow tires, but would like new 16s. I am not seeing many aftermarket wheels in that size however, the few I've seen are sized as below:

16x7, 5x112  45mm
16x7.5  5x112 (?)

I don't pretend to know what each of those numerical designations stands for so that why I'm asking for help. What would fit?

Also, one of the small Audi badges is missing on the side of the car, anyone know where I could get one of those?
Lots more to do, but that's it for now. If I can't get cool air, I may not have a V8 anymore ;-(
