I know they are wrong. I just want the PN to STTFU.
I'll phone up my friend, Kate, the friendly parts girl and ask her.

Ooops.They are the 441601025AA, 8J x 17 H2, ET 35 that were exclusive to the V8. I bought them from my local VW/Audi part supplier (not a dealer) who has a 92 V8 and had bought two full sets when they were on close out. He runs one set on his V8 and had the other set on display in his shop for over a year. After I got the V8 avant and bought the UrS4 V8 brochure off eBay, I had to have them. And you are right, the ones I have are NOT the ones that show on the brochure car (I don't know the PN for those but I think they are ET40). I like the 45 deg lip.


Just went out the garage to check the PNs on the boxes from the NIB Boleros, to confirm that they are NOT B5 Boleros.
FUGG.
4A0071495 1ZL.


My friend, Kate, the friendly parts girl, says that they are wheel discs aluminum "1ZL" colour. But when I quizzed her which car they came on, she says she doesn't know.
The paper work that was inside with the wheels says AUDI Genuine Accessories.
They are still 8J x 17s with ET 35 with the 45 deg lip like the V8 version. Just not the V8 version. Hmmm...

So I say to Kate, "Could you please try the US for that 4A0071495 wheel PN"
She says, "Okay, give me a minute".
She comes back and says "Hope you didn't bet on this cuz you ain't gonna like what I found"
Gulp.
"4A0071495 is NOT in the wheels section. I found it in the accessory section. It was indeed a B5 accessory wheel. 8J x 17 ET35, 5/112 BOLERO 10-spokes with Votex (cap) 4A0071213".
Oh, man.
Pass the catsup. I got to eat CROW.


Live and learn. Too soon old, too late smart.

As a huge Bolero fan I remember the following off my head - et35 8.0x17 with 45 degree lip are the V8 version and also found on b5 s4 model. 8x17 et 40 is the size of the c4 s4\s6 wheel - i have a set on my car. There is also 'regular' round lip 7.5x17 et 35 b5 non s model wheel. All in 5x112 pattern. So i must say that if you have 8.0x17 et 35 wheel with 45 degree lip and 8do part number is a b5 s4 wheel.Comment

Mine are 8J x 17 ET 35, 45 deg lip but PN is 4A0071495 (1ZL) which I found out this AM was a B5 A4 accessory wheel in North America (not normally installed on the cars at the factory, destined to the US/Canada - but could be purchased for dealer installation after arrival).RS2'd 93 UrS4 5 spd sedan

Thanks Tom. I know I did see that in the past. Unfortunately there are more than just 2 versions of 8J x 17 Boleros.
For sure there is:
1. The V8 Bolero
2. The UrS4/S6 Bolero
3. The B5 A4 Bolero.
Apparently I thought I had No. 1 and actually have No. 3. Doesn't really matter to me.
Looks good regardless. (IMO)
