i live in orlando,fl, have a 1997 A4 1.8T, how and where can i get the 5 spoke 16 inch wheels and tires and how much would it cost? give me good news guys.

Check with Gary from Renal (sp?) who hangs out here (the tire forum?), or get a copy of European Car Magazine.

If you take a look at the LLtek side moldings, you will notice that the rubber trim under the door is removed and replaced with a color matched strip.. Maybe that might be your solution?..<p>Dmak 1.8TQMS

Hey Richie,<p>In the LLTEK price guide, on the very bottom of the A4 aerodynamics section (middle of Page 3), is a product called the "A4 Optional Vinyl Molding". The description says that it "Eliminates need to paint lower door edge if factory door rubber molding is removed." It comes pre-painted, and it's listed for $109.<p>Does anyone have this? Does it just slide over the existing rails under the rubber? or does it replace the rail as well? Does it work well? What about looks?<p>Another option may be to look into the bottom door molding from an S4, if you can figure out where to get it.<p>Hope this helps.<p><br>James wu<br>A4 Club of Vancouver<br>1998 Black/Onyx 1.8tqa<ul><li><a href="http://vancouver.a4.org">A4 Club of Vancouver</a></li></ul>

I painted my door moldings along with the rocker panels and rear valance. I had them painted in April of 98. So far I have had no problems with cracking or peeling of the lower moldings.<p>Jason<br><ul><li><a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~jmatsuura/">Jason's A4 page</a></li></ul>
