FYI: Wheels for CQ



Since my wife has been keeping an eye on my autocrossing budget, I have
been trying to find a low cost alternative to buying new (or expensive
used) wheels for my '90 CQ20v as an extra set for racing.  I figured I
would try and see what might be available out at the junk yards.  Here
are my constraints:

1) 15x7 wheels (largest I can have and stay in stock cat.)
2) 4x108mm bolt patern (or 4.25 in = 107.95mm)
3) ET35

Well, I got a hold of an ARE guide to wheels and the only models I could
find that fit the first two are:

1) Ford Mustang 5.0 GT '85-90
2) Volvo 850 '92 to present

I have called several dealerships and a couple of wheel shops to find
the offsets on these wheels but knowbody seemed to have an answer.  Does
anybody know what the standard offsets are for the above models?

My next step is to head to the junk yard, find one, and try it out to
see if it will work.  I probably won't be able to get to this project
for a couple of weeks so if anybody has a chance to check this out
further, please post that info.  Thanks.

Disclaimer:  I am not proposing putting a set of 'stang wheels on an
Audi perminently.  Philosophically, that would be wrong.  But to save a
couple of hundred bucks on something that will be on the car once a
month, I think it would be ok.
