What brand rim?? 5kTQ



I've been trying to find some 16 inch wheels for my TQ (man, do I need new
tires!!)  So far I've come up wth not much.  Who makes 16" rims for the '87
TQ?? All I've found is a $400+ Momo, an astonomically priced Freedom Design
(slick lookin' wheels though, they've got a six & a seven spoke that's to die
for) and the run of the mill BBS RZ II's.  Oh yeah, and a butt-ugly Borbet Type
O.  There's the possiblilty that the Reya (sp?) may fit, but I'm coming up
empty everywhere I look.  Any manufcturer that looks good, says no when I call
'em direct (OZ for instance.)  American Racing (hey, I'm desperate) said
"Dunno, we've never tried 'em on THAT car" even though their book said they'd
fit.  I went to a few run of the mill tire stores, as well as NTW & the Tire
Rack without much help.  Anyone with some pointers, I'd sure appreciate 'em.
 Also, can somebody verify the dimensions I've got on the stock wheels?  Want
to be sure I'm lookin' for the right thing...

Bolt Pattern - 5 x 112
Offset - 45mm
Hub - 57.1

Do I have it right??  TIA...
