I love the look of those. I almost pulled the trigger, but the whole centering ring and different lugs thing stopped me. Any issues mounting? I'm more concerned with stripping the hub or something swapping the summers back on.

No. I have no idea how you could possible strip the hub lol. The rings are already in the wheel, and being aluminum you wouldnt even realize they were there if they werent pointed out to you.
Same as changing any other rim. Again, hubcentric rings are not a big deal and are VERY common. If you've ever bought a used car with aftermarket rims odds are good you had them and didnt even realize it.

Also they are not lugs, they are bolts, just with a different shaped seat thats for that particular wheel. Not like you are installing wheel studs or anything.

Really wanted 20’s, but price on these 19’s with Scorpion winters from Tire Rack ($1,300) was too good to pass up. Will look into Audi caps eventually.

I couldn’t find caps the right size but bought a set of S Line stick on caps on Amazon. They adhere to your existing cap, are cheap and even the dealer didn’t spot the fakes. After over a year they are looking new so may never use the second set I bought thinking they wouldnt last.

Got them on just in time. S5 replicas from Costco. Good quality from what I can tell. Better than the value TireRack brands (Sport Edition, MSW) that I’ve had on previous Audis. 18x8 w/ 235/60 Michelin Latitude Xi2.
