1990 V8Q Wheel Search

Don't know about the five spoke take offs from the A4, but the five spoke off the A8 definitely will fit the 1990 V8. BTDT about four months ago.......WHAT a difference in the look of my V8. While my car was at the shop a couple of months ago, one unsuspecting (with limited) knowledge asked my mechanic if MY 1990 V8 was the NEW A8. A great compliment indeed.

Steve, if want send me an e-mail off line and let me know if you would like for me to forward you the pics. Believe me, the new A8 wheel will take at least five years off your car!

BTW, I mated the A8 wheels up with Pirelli P7000 P225/50 ZR 16 tires and the ride and handling is exceptional in dry and wet conditions. All this for a mere $1150 (including mount, balance and alignment).

Can anyone tell me if the 16 x 7 (5-spoke design) wheel from the 1999 A4
will 
fit my 1990 V8 Quattro with the UFO rotors found on V8's and 200TQ's?
(Please 
let me know if you have actually tried this or other wheel applications on 
this car.)

If this wheel will not work, do you have any suggestions for wheel
upgrades? 
The car comes with factory 15 x 7.5 alloys. Mine are fairly beat up and I 
want to get something nicer and newer. Any suggestions would be
appreciated. 
It seems like the UFO rotor provides for quite a problem with wheel 
clearances.

Thanks,
