<< In my search for A4 5-spoke wheels, many Listers have steered me towards 
the
 replica wheels made by ATP for TireRack and Discount Tire Direct. Does
 anyone on the List actually own a set of these replica wheels? How good of
 quality are they? Also, what offset are the wheels (I've heard they were
 35mm instead of the factory wheels' 45mm)? TireRack says the wheels will fit
 my car ('92 100 non-Q), but posts about these wheels in the past on the List
 speak to the contrary. At $129 a wheel, the price sounds good (under $1000
 for wheels with mounted Z-rated rubber including shipping). BTW, will Audi
 center caps fit on these wheels? Any opinions greatly appreciated.

 i will be getting a pair of used "Speedline" replica A8 5 spoke 16x7 et37 
wheels (only diff between A4 and A8 16" wheel is that A8 is 37mm offset, and 
A4 is 45mm offset) to mount on my '86 5kT. I'll be running the 45mm A4 wheels 
in the back, the 37mm A8 wheels up front. i've seen the Speedline wheels, 
they are basically identical to the OEM Audi wheels.
