Default ur quattro Gp4 wheels

Most of us like to think we know our subject...... For me, that's the Gp4 rally quattros. Few people like to accept they are wrong, and in common with most, I have such a failing too......

I've always believed that the pre-GpB rally cars used Fuchs 7J wheels for gravel, Ronal 8J for tarmac and (occaisionally) Ronal 6J for snow/photo-shoots. However, I was reading (again) through Graham Robsons book late one night and I'm sure he mentions the motorsport Fuchs as being 6J.

Furthermore, my dream car is the 1982 Monte and I can never make my mind-up if it is running 8J or 9J Ronals on that event.

Anyone care to shed some light on this if they know better than I do?

I am no expert here but i do know there are 6j fuch's out there and they are designed IIRC to use metric sized tires and I also believe they are much lighter than standard

Again they might well be metric, but there are some out there very close to the 8" mark
