Look about 8 threads down and there is mention of someone who might be able to do custom hubs..
You could inquire about re-doing your stock hubs in 5x130. I actually have a set of B4Q hubs redone with a 5x130 bolt pattern to fit RH Alurad turbo twists. Only thing that has held me up so far is brake rotors, I'll need custom hats F&R with the correct offset to complete the "kit". Every place I've contacted so far has refused to do custom hats for me when I describe my plans. I'm sure there is an outfit out there willing to do it, I've yet to find them. Admittedly though I haven't been looking that hard lately since the UrS6 has been getting the attenion and modding dollars.
HTH and good luck.

18x8 OZ racing rims for $120 each, and they dont look 1/2 bad. just a question of if the offset will work?<ul><li><a href="http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=6832">http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=6832</a></li></ul>

A couple of problems with the focus wheels - hub diameter and 12mm bolts
You would need to go to a custom spacer to get the Audi hubcentric to the spacer then the spacer hubcentric to the wheel.
Then you have to drill out the bolt holes for the 14mm bolts we use.
It can be done but I'm not sure the time and expense would be worth it.

that sucks, but at under $500 for 4 it MAY be worth it? plus...
they are OZ which makes a decent product and are 18x8.
I have access to metal turning lathes and many other metal working tools, so the spacer/drilling wouldn't be too big of a deal.
