Default those with RS4 Replica wheels

where did you get them from, other than Achtuning and Performance alloys(not too fond of them right now and they are unwillingto help) reason i ask is becasue i need to buy a set of center caps, the OEM ones will not fit the ones Achtuning sell will not fit either. Mine are held on by a allen screw. So if you could help me out that be great.

I got mine from Discount Tire. The center caps are not held on by an allen screw, they just snap in.

Default The Wheel Exchange also sells RS4 replicas. The salesperson there sent me an e-mail on modifying the

OEM center cap to fit their RS4 wheel. Their replicas are made by a company in Italy, so I'm not sure if these are the same or not.

Here's the link: good luck!

Who did you get the wheels from, and why can't they supply the center caps?

Default Maybe you could find out who manufactured them, and reach them directly?

Probably cheaper too.

Did the seller "forget" to send the caps?

I had the same problem with my oem Avus wheels I bought used...the guy "forgot" (yeah right) the center caps, so he gave me his speedmount in place of them.
