Does anyone know if the center caps from the OEM 5-spokes fit the R-28s? If they don't, are there any 4-ring center caps that do?<p>Thanks,<br>---John Pal...<br>'97 1.8TQAS w/lovley, new R-28s

Check out the link below for pictures. These are the center caps from the 7-spoke wheels and IMHO they look great. I have the R-28's and have ordered the center caps from Clair. I will put them on when I take those wheels off for the winter. You have to take the wheels off in order to swap...<ul><li><a href="http://www.pinkpank.net/a4org/wheel1/messages/428.shtml">R-28's with Audi center caps</a></li></ul>

You've already taken the Ronal ones off before getting your wheels put on the car! Have been driving around without center caps for about 5 days now. Should get them tomorrow, then I can just pop them right on! so far, been driving around feeling I'm on stolen rims or something. patience....

In photographs the R 28 wheel appears similar to the OEM 7 spoke wheel, what are the differences aside from size ie 17" vs. 16"?<p>Jan

Very cool...what'd they cost?

Width is 8.5" and offset is 34, I believe (Steve S. or Jason Teller can confirm).<p>CraigB

Looks-wise, the Ronals are also noticeably different in direct A-B comparisons. The stock 7 spokers are flat-faced, the R-28's are dished very effectively so that each spoke has a noticeable convex bow to it. The rim itself is also smoother and much more rounded. They are much easier to clean than the stock 7 spokers.<p>The stock wheels are very good looking, and this opinion is from one of the minority who prefer the 7 spoke wheels to the 5 spokes. But the R-28's are absolutely stunning. Pictures do not do them justice.<p>Andy

...and I only have the 16". I may relegate my Borbet Type Cs to winter duty and keep the R-28s on next summer. 8^)<p>CraigB

7-spoke caps from Clair are $20 each.

Those be the numbers.....Craig got it correct.
