Probably the best SCCA Stock legal wheels (if you can afford it!) would
be 16 x 7, 35 mm + offset ,  5 x 112 B.C. , BBS RK's  availible from many
sources, I just checked TireRack. From my search for street wheels for my
200TQ, BBS may also be the only option availible besides stock.  Seems 16
x 7 and our bolt circle/hub fitting isn't widely availible. Stock does
allow up to 1/4" change in offset, so I imagine if the tires will clear,
you could go to a 30 mm + offset, which would still be legal. From what I
recall, A4's were quite a strong contender at  the Topeka Nat'ls 2 yrs
ago. Unfortunately, either no-one could afford them or nobody tried them
at Divisionals 2 yrs ago. I didn't go to NE-Divs last year nor nationals
due to a move, so I didn't really check how A4's did this year.
