<<       Most Audi's (Except 4000's , Coupe GT's, 80's 
 and 90's)  have 5lug 112mm bolt patterns. Most Audi's later than and 
 including '91 200 20V's also have the 35mm offset too. This is really too
bad as I 
 would love some A4 16" Five spokes on my car! 
             
           So guys-let us know whats you gots on dem cars of yours!

Well, Chad

Here goes:

Those A4 wheels you'd like to use on your car can be had (although not from
me, I'm afraid).  Part No. 8DO-601-025-C-Z17.  These are 16 x 7 and ET
45(Einpreßtiefe) and list at $381.17 ea. at my local dealer.  I know 'cause I
really was hoping to get those or A8 wheels for my V8Q, but the offset for A8
is ET42 for the 7x16 and ET48 for the 8x17's.  So while I'm s.o.l., you're
not (pocketbook withstanding).  My stock wheels are 15x7.5 aero standard
ET35.
