My 87 5kq has the Audi 16 spoke alloy wheels. 6Jx15, ET45, pn 447 601
025E.  All the NA non-q 5k's I have seen in this part of the world
have the 4 bolt steel wheels.  I have not seen another 5kq or t with
the same wheels as mine, but they all had the 5 bolt alloys.  As a
matter of interest, when talking with the dealer parts guy, he insists
I have a 'tq' when I mention the 'CD' badge.  I say no 't'.  He
insists it must be a US car.  Obviously not, according to Ti.
Ahh...just one of the many Audi variants.
