The Ronals are in shabby condition, and are looking for a place to get
refinished.  Trust me, they'll be back on the car soon enough.  I happened
to have a (ridiculously expensive) set of BBS's already paid for that I did
not have time to put on my 240hp A4, which I sold with the 17" BBS RX
wheels only.

The PO had a set of Cooper (faintness followed by laughter) 225/50R15's on
the Ronals, which have been discarded.  It seems that I'll have trouble
getting a tire in the 215/50 size, especially one that is piece of
high-quality modern rubber.  Wait and see.  I might use the wheels for my
snows, since that period cover six months of the year, and during that
time, the Q will see relatively more driving, as the Carrera is turning
more and more into a garage queen, and will probably not see first snow
around October.

I may have a lead on a set of Sport Quattro 15x9 wheels too.  I think the
offsets would play havoc here for me, so no point getting too excited.
