I tried both these sites and nothing matched sorry c'ant post url (just add www in front!):

.original-felgen.com


.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/wheels/oem-vw-audi-wheels-gallery-database.htm#5x100

Try to get model/part number off one of the wheels and then search with google to locate model name or number for this wheel.

Best of luck!

although the only number on the rim i couldn't find on the site. pretty sure my stock rims are 5x112, so as soon as i find a 4th, ill be riding on 17s!

They look like an A6 wheel. Take one to the dealer, they should be able to look it up. You're right, your rims are 5x112, but you'll need the right backspacing to avoid problems. Perhaps you should try one on your car before you go too far with this.
