Need Help - OEM center cap doesn't fit my 19' replicas
I have 19 inch 5 spoke replicas on my 2006 A6 4.2 S-line and one of the center caps fell out. The local tire and wheel company that I purchased them from went out of business and I don't know the manufacturer of the wheel (I believe they were out of Italy but I don't think they are Hartmans b/c based on my research they can use OEM center caps).
I purchased from a local Audi dealership the OEM center cap and it is a little too big to fit in the replica wheel. I've tried to get it to fit but it simply won't. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can find a center cap that is a slightly smaller diameter than the OEM one?
I have the front and back factory aftermarket exterior kit along with the 19 inch wheels but not having a center cap makes my car look totally ghetto. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You could try a fine grit half round file and try to enlarge the hole..or fine grit sand paper if it really close already. Or it may be easier to sand the cap but then it would fit OEM wheels.
