Default Audi Caps for After Market TSW Wheels?

Where do you guys buy Audi caps for custom wheels? How do you find the right size caps?

Thanks,

Thanks, I did check ebay but there are way too many sellers and prices are all over the place.

I like to know where users got their caps, and can reccommend a seller or shop to buy from.

I have TSW Nurburgin wheels, so I will check with them for size.

Way too many sellers - that is a good thing

Prices all over the place - no big deal, find the lowest price for your size in the style you want there

They are likely all made in China anyway. It is just some are being sold directly from China / Hong Kong sellers. Others are being sold by sellers in the US - who have likely imported them in bulk from the Chinese factory and marked up the price since they are in the US - and selling them.

I have ordered two sets (summer and winter wheels) from ebay - overseas sellers and never had an issue. Quality was great, shipping was relatively quick, price could not be beat

I have to agreed with you on prices and options on ebay. They really can't be beat.

I have no luck contacting TSW as they don't list any contact info. I guess I will try my luck getting a few different sizes and see what fits.

Ok, I asked Discount Tire rep and they say the center cap size for these wheels is 75mm.

Does that sound about right? Too big, you think?

Also, can I replace the center caps myself after the wheels have been mounted to the car?

That's probably the overall size and a good place to start. Take a metric ruler and measure the bore on your wheels.

If you already have center caps, you could get 75mm (or the appropriate size) stickers to go over the TSW wheel caps.

Yes, they just pop into the hole. You will need to remove the wheel to take them off.
