Most of the cars here (1983 and most 1984, so 90%) came with the 15x6 Ronals
which are just not as nice as the 15x8. So, you can look all over for, and pay an 
arm and a leg for the 15x8's like I did, or you can mount your tires or track tires
on aftermarket wheels. The most common I've seen are the MSW 55 wheels, as seen
in Anderson's pictures. They are 15x7, fit the 225-50-15, and are the least
expensive alternative at Tire Rack, a large mail order supplier.

Since most of the US cars are 1983's they came with black rear spoilers.

These Audi 80 lights are still "Euro" to us, since the vintage 1983-84
Audi 4000 sold here had sealed beams. Yes they aren't as nice as the multi
lamp units you have, but they are better than stock.

BTW, why do you guys spell tires wrong, doesn't your spellcheck work?? ;-)
