Janus Boleros is a complicated subject! Would take considerable research to really nail it. They were sold on the A4, 80 cab S4 S6. Some have et 45 some et 40 some et35, SOME 7J,7.5J and 8J then theres cast and forged and then theres the rarer 45 degree lips with deeper dish look and it seams permutations of that lot i just mentioned. Must have been popular for audi to offer them in different sizes on quite a few cars. Weight difference between the heaviest and lightest is worth the effort seaking out.Hope that helps you mate.Last edited by Vorsprung durch Technik; 30 November 2014, 13:57.96 URS6 plus speck saloon

My bolero's came off A4 Quattro, so I thought only difference was the width and offset, as I preferred narrower wheel so I don't have to fit 235 tyres, but looking at pictures of S4/s6's with 8" boleros they look so much better, looks like 18" to my eye. Been thinking of going back to 18", but now considering buying 8" boleros instead.'93 Audi 100 Avant - R.I.P

They would make my volcano black UrS4 V8 avant look similar to this one from the UrS4 V8 brochure (except, as you might see, they had the 90 deg stepped lip):

Only just seen this Dave.
A little confused really. Mid 90's indicates C4.Do you mean a C4 V8 which is a URS4 but with the V8.I have a brochure i am sure will look later.I think the Boleros look great on the URS4/URS6/V8.
If not then I have just looked at 2 brochures here for the C3 V8 the sept 88 brochure shows the V8 with Ronal Aero alloys and the jan 91 brochure shows with a BBS Style wheel looking like the E30 325i alloys. Have you got a Audi brochure with the V8 pictured with Boleros on??
I don't know why they are so heavy,what i do know is the vast majority are cast but there are some forged. And these are the ones to get and much lighter. Some people have mentioned Boleros being so rare only 100 sets being made.The plot gets thicker!96 URS6 plus speck saloon

They have the 45deg lips.
If you ever get a chance could you weigh one of the wheels and let me know.Cheers96 URS6 plus speck saloon

The Audi V8 Boleros are 8J x 17 ET35, PN 441601025AA for a Type 44 or "4C" Audi V8 sedan. There is no diagram of them in VaGCat.
Here is another C4 Audi S4 Bolero photo.
