I am in need of new tires and I want to replace my BBS mesh wheels -It
takes
longer to clean these than the rest of the car;(.  However, I've run
into a
brick wall regarding finding wheels I like.  According to Tire Rack only
two
wheels fit the 200!  I think this is bull#$@#.

It is.

Are all of the five lug Audi
wheels ( 5 @ 112mm) interchangeable excepting brake clearances and such?

Correct.

Tire Rack lists many wheels for the later 'A' series Audis.

I have 4 sets of alloys between my 2 Audis (two summer and two snow
sets), which are completely interchangeable.
I have pix of my '89 200 on 7.5x16 MOMO Ferraris with 205/55/16 SP8000
and on 7.5x16 MOMO Arrows with 225/50/16 SP8000 off my '98 A4 if you are
curious.

Just bear in mind, Peter, that on your 89 200TQW you_will_have to flare
the rear fenders. I can go into a lengthy discussion about offset
differences and their impact on the outer lip clearance but don't want
to bore the listers with the beaten to death topic. The '91 200/V8 style
flares on my car are quite visible on the pix.
