Default Are these wheels OEM?

Found somebody selling these on Craigslist near me and insists they're OEM. But they don't include a center cap, and supposedly came off an S5. I can't find this wheel anywhere else, which makes me think this wasn't a genuine wheel. I've never seen the pure silver rims in the 5 rotor design, save for a 20" variation of it.

The lack of a center cap and sizing of the wheel make me skeptical...

Thoughts?

If they are OE, they'll have the Audi P/N on the rear of the wheel and probably have the Audi logo, too.

Nice looking set up !

You are right in suspecting those rims. The wheel specs should be stamped like this (see photo below). The way the "ET35" is stamped on the wheels being sold to you is definitely not the way Audi OEM rims are labeled.

plat27265 is correct, as your wheel lacks the Audi logo and had clearly been stamped (after casting) with the offset. These are very nice looking replicas to be sure.
