I've had or seen a number of R8 wheels over the years 6jx14" 4x100 6jx14" 4x108 6jx15" 4x108 7jx15" 4x108 6jx15" 5x112 7jx15" 5x112 8jx15" 5x112 9jx15" 5x112
Following on from the talk in the 80's rally cars thread, and the mention that i had some 7x15 Ronals and that they may or may not have been used, i KNEW i'd seen pictures of the cars running 7x15s.... And here is proof, direct from the website we know and love
I also have a set of 7 x 15", 4 x 100mm that i have just started to refurbish. Will put up some pics.
Now the question is: Are these thin spoke wheels, where the spokes are set well into the flange? or Are they heavier spoke wheels, where the spokes are not set as deep into the flange? Compare posts #22 & #23 below!
I recon the wheels in the above pic are the same as these And from that, they are the same as the ones shown in the R8 thread, and the same as mine below: They have the same number of spokes and the same edge detail. Size: Part no: And the date of manufacture on the back of them is 1987!
Just going back over the thread again, top pic, taken by me in 86ish! That has the early Audi 4x100 wheels, 6x14 et42 (I think! had a set years ago and sold them) Second pic they are 6x15, as used by BRMotorsport on some of their mk1 demo cars. Again et around 42, as they never filled the arches on the mk1s or mk2s Same as these:

Its a little bit naughty having those wheels on that car, on that rally. Kenneth Eriksson's car was sponsored by Speedline......
Lee. That's a grand find so! The ET 35, is the same as thegave's wheels below. Are you going to keep the paint original, and just touch up the light damage to protect the alloy? I would.
