Re: Discount Tire Replica rims for Audi

[John Karasaki <johkar@teleport.com>]

Andrew,

I don't understand your reasoning.  They won't fit on a 5kq (no turbo) if
they won't fit on the 5ktq.  Those cars use the same wheels.

Also, they won't work on a 100/5k (no turbo no quattro) or the 80/90
because the replica wheels are a 5 on 112 mm bolt pattern instead of the 4
x 108 mm pattern those cars you mentioned need.

Last I checked, Discount Tire lists no replica wheel package for the 4 x
108 wheeled cars.
