I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of wither wheels and tires. The wheels I plan to get are the Andros R9. My question is this: Has anyone replaced the original Andros center caps with Audi center caps? If so, is this a straightforward swap or is it "challenging"?

Thanks

Tirerack website says the R9 have 68mm center caps. Look on eBay and see if you can find appropriate Audi caps. There are many on eBay

The ones that come with your S3 will not work.

I bought Alzor 628 wheels which are similar looking to your R9's. Worst case if the Audi center caps you purchase don't fit in the R9's unmodified, you can modify them and glue the caps onto the R9 caps that come with the wheels. I had to do this.

I considered the same rims for my winter set. I was recommended not to use them. Apparently any rim that has machined surface not a good choice for winter. I changed mine to gun metal painted rims.


Otherwise those rims are really good looking.
