I am looking for some A8L center caps, and having a hard time finding any. These are for the turbine style wheels, and the center cap is 165mm, I had hoped to use the caps from my 18" Avus as they are the same diameter, but they don't fit due to the shape. Cheapest I can find so far has been $56 each at the dealer, which is frankly ridiculous for a small plastic disc.

Does anyone know if the center caps from the RS4 wheels will fit? I read that they are also 165mm, and found plenty reasonably priced on eBay. Hoping I don't have to go the dealer route, but if I have to, then would sooner do that than have no center caps.

Thanks.

Not sure which wheels you mean...

Or this kind of cap...

Either way you should be able to find most options cheaper than at the dealership. Did you check eBay?

The first picture, found plenty of the smaller caps on eBay, but can't find any of the A8L caps for those wheels above. The closest thing I can find is the cap for this wheel:

But, I am not certain if it will fit.

Ahhh... Those are rare, but I'm sure I've seen them on eBay before. You just have to keep looking. Possibly do an 'Audi centre caps' search and sift through a few pages.

Good luck with your search.

Thanks, I searched through LOTS of pages, could not find the exact ones so decided to order some like you had linked above. As long as they fit then I am happy, $23.99 is also a lot better than the $225 it would have cost at the dealer.
