Agreed. The factory center caps can be used with the replica wheels, however...
you need to modify them in order to get them to fit. It's an easy modification, but you'll never get the factory cap to sit flush in the center of the replica wheel...it will be raised about 1.5 mm. Not a good look imho, but some people don't mind these small flaws.
I met an 02 A4 Avant owner at the NE Event that purchased the replica wheels and modded his center caps to fit. His car looked really sharp, but up close those center caps stuck out just a hair...it would bug me if I owned the car.

Dude your asking on Cheep grade vs. High Quaility
Why would you get RS wheel, everone has them.
also everyone that has the "REAL" ones complain
that the are not strong.
SportTech are Awesome quility and look awesome.
I am sure there is like 1K difference in price.
But don't get RS Replicas, get real SportTech.
Also, EdgeRacing is not bad. I've ordered my dad's Rondel's there for his 540. it took them
a whyle even though they'll tell you 4 days, excpect more like 8 days. They LIE. but otherwise
they are decent. They package the wheels well.
