You're right, the 15" Speedlines were available as an option for the 90q. I
test-drove a 90q with these wheels some time ago (and have the pictures to
prove it). They had a different offset than the CQ items, though. The
wheels came as an extra with a brake/suspension upgrade, if I read the
original brochures correctly.
