RE: First gen wheels

["Jeff Wheeler" <j_dubbya@classic.msn.com>]

I think the wheels on the red Scirocco are Ronals; the ones I had in mind 
actually have thinner spokes, and are (probably) only in the 13" 
configuration.  In other wrods, the Ronals would be hard to clean, but these 
babies are bloody hell!

I know but its annoying when it takes forever to send when im in a hurry
to do other things. I cropped it to where it was half the size. Half the
size, half the time!

I know of these wheels. VWCRAZYTIM has these on his Scirocco. I happen to
have a picture of his car in the Smokey mtns! I'll send it to you and
tell me if these are them. 
I recall these comming on Audi's. In fact, my Greg Raven book has a
racing Scirocco on the back coverwiththese wheels. I origionally wanted
these wheels but never got around to finding a decent set. I see a few of
these in the junkyard but never think to buy one at a time and collect
them. I like these! Ronal made a copycat (R-8? if I recall correctly) of
this wheel.
