As I understand it,79 & 80 Turbo wheels were 8" wide & 81's were 7 1/2".
Perhaps there was some overlap of leftover 8" wheel's getting onto 81's.
I did pull a set off an 81 Recaro T/A,but don't recall what size they were.
FYI: ACTUAL wheel dimension (width) is measured from the INSIDE of the bead (where the tire sits)
Your buddy is just measuring WRONG. He has 7 1/2" wheels.
