Default center caps

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/52679/24941_8.jpg"></center><p>The center caps on this stock wheel, will it fit a rs4 rep? Again, I'm almost sure they are different, but just curious.

Default This one...

<center><img src="http://www.aaarims.com/wheels/audi-rs4.JPG"></center><p>Description says the center caps are included. Do you not care for the chrome lip caps pictured? The center caps I'm using are '01.5 Sport package wheel center caps that have been modified to fit if that helps. I don't think the 2000 sport package center caps will fit as they are for 16" wheels. I've owned both and the '01.5 have longer clips &amp; have more dish to them.

Are you looking for the center caps pictured? If so I can help you out...

Default I've driven on some pretty nasty back roads with them, but no potholes...

...so far, no problemo. The claims made by Achtuning were half the reason I bought them, as the roads here in NH can get pretty bad. I wanted something that would stand up. They are heavy wheels (27 lbs each) and appear to be built for quite a bit of abuse. Achtuning claims the replicas are strong, but they probably have their limits. I doubt I'll ever reach that limit as I've never bent a wheel because I switch over to winter wheels in the fall. I'm running them at 40 psi all around, which is a little harsh on the bumps, but the extra unsprung weight appears to absorb some of the road bumps.
