Default tryin to change flat with spare tire and...
I took all the lug nuts off but there seems to be a center lug of some sort on my avus wheels that is preventing me to remove the wheels? is this stock? it almost looks like i need a pretty big allen wrench to get it off?

Default you don't need to take that one on. its' what packs the bearing assembly.
don't concern yourself with it.

you've got 5 lugs and that's it.

Default Your wheel is probably just "stuck"
There are only 5 lugs. A simple tap of the wheel should release it.

Oh, you probably don't want to tap the wheel while using the stock jack.

Default use a rubber mallot to strike thge wheel/tire(mainly tire) and break the wheel free.....
audi says not to use anti sieze on their hubs due to heat transfer issues. you are not the first guy to deal with this.

Default loosen lug nuts a bit, but leave the wheel on a car...
roll your car a few feet (forward, backward) and sticky wheel should loosen up.
