arrived today, finish was actually really nice with only a couple very minor "defects" such as something in the paint but no bends or anything like that.

no spacers needed but i installed 5mm spacers as i wanted them to sit a bit more flush

very happy with the $600 price (can re use your stock bolts) i will order new audi caps since these were a chrome cap and look out of place

Wow, thanks so much Saxon, but can I ask about the spacers... you don't need the shorter lug nuts because you put on the 5mm spacers? Or can you use the Audi factory lugs either way?

i used a longer wheel bolt with the spacer. i made sure they fit the stock lug bolts with no spacer first and no issues

Check out these center caps. They fit a 70 mm center hole. Part # 4B0 601 170. I got a set for my snow tires. $10 shipped.

Looks like the same thing, different color. I have dark gray painted wheels for winter.

My wheels from OEM Wheels came with Audi center caps and I didn't have to do anything with my lugs. I used the stock lugs with no problems. All I had to do was have my tires mounted and bolt them on.

Oh Man Brad, Thanks for the reply, It's good to get additional confirmation that the Wheels clear the brake calipers, without spacers, and that I can use the stock lugs with NO issues. I'm going to order them for real this time, this Weekend, I want to make sure I get the right tire. I want to put this (Below) tire on those wheels I just want to make sure that they fit.
