I was at a u-pick yard the other day and ran into a set of 5 Audi wheels
that looked pretty nice.  While I don't want them, I thought someone else
might.  e-mail me if you are interested.  $25 each, plus shipping.

DETAILS:

*  5 wheels, count em, 5 (five) yes, there were 5 of them.
*  5 bolt pattern, same as Vanagon
*  6 x 15 ET45, ET45 is offset, V'gon is ET30 (See below)
*  VW/Audi part number - 437 601 025C
*  Gold color, 20 or so spokes, if you have a Tire Rack add,
   it looks like the "MSW Superturismo"
*  They looked straight, and there was no damage to the vehicle that
   would make me think they were not straight.
*  They are very clean wheels.  The gold paint is a bit faded, but
   I suspect could be cleaned up easily.
*  "RONAL" was stamped on the wheel center.

Previous e-mails from listees provides the following information.

1.  They fit, and some have used spacers, others have used w/o spacers.
    Offset of these is 45 mm (ET45), Vanagon offset is 30 mm.  (ET30)
2.  You may have to clearance the center hole a bit, I think this is
    to clear my Syncro hubs.
3.  While I did not note what model the Audi was, I have been led to
    believe that it was an Audi 5000 Turbo, probably 1982 or 1983.

If someone is interested in these wheels, e-mail me.  I will run back to
the u-pick and take a photo, check Audi model, even put them on an axel to
check for straightness.  I just hated to see them go to waste, if someone
was interested.
