Re Kerrys post,
I suspect others will weigh in on this as well, but as an owner of various quattro's (4000's, 5000's and UrQ's) I can say without hesitation that the 15X8 Ronals are most certainly NOT ,
"the same wheel Audi used in different widths on the early turbo 5000's, all the 4kq, etc.."
The early turbo 5000's used some of the ugliest rims designed till that point, many with a different offset and bolt pattern and diameter than the Ronals in question. I sure didn't see any of those rims on rallying Q's like we saw the 15X8's & Fuchs.
All 4kq's original equipment was a 14 inch Ronal that was very structurally different from the 15X8. The price you paid should have been a big tip off ($750). Most other stock q alloys (save the Fuchs) can be had for $100-300 per set (no tires).
I have not seen much market difference recently between the 15X8's and the Fuchs, a good set going for $4-$600 (depending on tires). I recently sold some worn Ronals with reasonable autoX tires for $600. If the ones Keith has are 15X8's vs the 15X9 Sport Q app then the price tells me he really doesn't want to sell them!
