The local junk yard (recycler) has 2 sets (4x2=8) of 86 Audi 5000 15"
aluminum wheels... My question is... will these fit (with a little grinding)
on my 87 Syncro Westy? is the off-set positive (giving a wider stance)? and
then do they look good "as is" or do they need some nice covers or a custom
Paint job?  are used Benz wheels better (looking & running) for the money?
Remember I'm in rural Canada and drive on some unusual and sometimes
rocky/ruff logging roads. Soft metal bends easily.. will these?
thanks
Rob
87 Westy SyncroGL.....Cynosure (slip&drip)

P.S. Sure will miss the Wild e. Coyote....sure has been good at his job....I
guess a good NT person is worth their weight in Syncro's...(lets see 175lbs
equals maybe, 4 wheels & a nose bra + a few extra bud vases...Humm... might
be more like, worth their weight in Syncro DVM certificates:^)
