Default Gary: 17" winter wheel consideration for A3 -- picture shows 4 bolts?

I was looking at the MSW Type 11 wheels and they show a 4 bolt pattern, however the wheel came up for the 2007 A3. Are there 4 and 5 bolt patterns for the same wheel and the picture is just showing 4 bolts? Or is there a mistake in the wheel matching query?

Also, is the center cap replaceable with an equivalent Audi wheel cap that will fit?

We usually photograph only one example as a representation of the wheel style. The web site wheel search database takes into account how many lugs your vehicle has, and how the wheel is manufactured. The wheel search results only list wheels that will fit your vehicle properly, even if the picture shows the wrong number of lug holes.

Unfortunately Audi caps don't fit these wheels, sorry.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&amp;url=/wheels/index.jsp">wheels</a></li></ul>
