Hi,
I am replacing the rims on my 2009 A5 3.2 (apparently the rims that I got with my car are replicas and one has a warp). I found a set that are in budget and look decent enough for the winter. They are 18" and the seller says they are OEM from an A5. However, from looking at every googled photo I can find the center cap (round/button style on the left) is different than what I am seeing on known legit OEM rim (cap covers the studs as in the right photo) and they are missing the "groove" to accommodate that cap from the left photo. Maybe what I am looking at is an early model? I don't want to end up with another set of crappy replicas 😠. Any help would be appreciated!
