He may mean the UrS car as my '93 UrS is stamped '200 Quattro' in various weird places.
On carpet moldings and such...
I'll snap a pic later once the wife returns with the digital camera... ;-)

I assume those are 3-piece, Curt? I am interested in more info on them if you have time.
Specifically, price. Looks exactly like what I want for my UrQ. If you don't mind sharing, shoot me an email.
Thanks,
Patrick

This is a 1986 ur 10v turbo. We put a 20v turbo in the 86. The jury is still out on what Ill end up with in this car, as Dr. P is as fast as quick as the 20vt...

Well these pics aren't as good as I had hoped.
I had to crop these out of wider shots. I spent much of my time that weekend putting a stint and bandage on the IC -> TB hose. I don't have any straight from the side. Here's a shot of how I got the wheels there. BTW, this absolutely RUINS the already bad drag coefficient.

These two show the wheels at an angle. You can see the lip and "tucked in" look (compared to the R8s). They still reach out into the flares more than the Fuchs or 15x6 R8s. Of course, they look nicer with the caps installed, and w/o all the brake dust.

Sorry about the quality. I'll ask around to see if anyone got better pics than I did.

I remember those!
They were discontinued and TireRack had a fire sale on the last ones in the mid-'90s. I found out too late, but I badly wanted to use those to replace the (faux multi-piece) Speedlines on my CQ. I think they'd match the urq quite well, too.

I guess I'm just extra cautious
I worry about a catastrophic failure, especially with the higher forces that can be sustained by R-compound rubber. I know it's probably fine as long as you use quality materials. Then there's the cost. I'm a cheap bastard, ya know. :^)
