Really late reply, I know, but I got my Audi centercaps from ECS tuning (56mm--same as the stock titanium wheel). Bit the bullet---about $37.25 each.

medimike1, how were the fit of the caps for you? I bought the same set of caps from ECS and I'm not having any luck when I try to install them. I did buy the Alzor wheels this past October so perhaps they've changed the diameter since you bought yours...

Thanks

I used the stock centercaps from my 19" wheels and found I had to trim the metal "spring" just a little to get them to fit in the Alzor wheels. I used a cut-off wheel on my Dremel to trim maybe an 1/8" from one end of the "C" spring. This allows the plastic tabs a little extra room to move inward and snap into the center of the wheels. It doesn't really affect their ability to fit the Audi wheels but you may need to stretch them out a little before you reinsert them so that they are nice and snug.

They were actually a perfect fit for mine. Didn't have to do any trimming or forcing. The stock center caps were a bit of a pain to remove, and I only had those in for about a week, but the Audi ones snapped right in.
