coupe/4kq wheels wanted

[John Karasaki <johkar@teleport.com>]

Dear fellow 4 ring fanatics:

In the interest of not getting a ticket for running studded snow tires in
the summer, I'm looking for a set of 4x108mm bolt pattern wheels.

My first preference are the J6"x15 wheels found on the 100 and early A6
cars.  These wheels are part number 4AO 601 025 A, 45mm offset.

My second choice is any set of 4x108 wheels that fit, if they are cheap
enough.  The very common 14x6 5k flat faced wheel can be had locally for
$10 to $25 each.  However, it would be nice to use something else as a
previous 4kq we owned had this very combination.  Also, I'm not sure how
the 5k wheel would look on a coupe!

My brake application book indicates that the 4x108 bolt pattern is very
common -- Saab and Ford among others have used it.  So if you see some 4
bolt Saab wheels for sale, pleas let me know as well.

I found a place that sells my first preference wheel (4AO 601 025 A) new
for $400/4.  It would be great to get a used set for a fraction of that.

Please e-mail me directly.  Thanks.
