Take the wheel off and look on the back of the spokes and hub. There's no point random guessing.

Naudi, you're making this much harder on yourself than necessary. Read the value on the tire's sidewall, you don't need any kind of measuring instrument.

Guidance from our friends at Tire Rack on reading the sidewall information:

Did a 2018 come standard with an 18" wheel? Did someone fit aftermarket 19" wheels to the car?

I guess I'm not following what your issue is at this point. Simply look at the tire size if you aren't sure of the wheel diameter. If the tire is 255/45/18 then you have 18 inch rims. As mentioned, that's not the stock tire size for 18 inch wheels. The car would have come with 245/35/18 tires if it came with 18 inch wheels, which are over an inch smaller in diameter than the tires you're current running.

Stating the obvious here, but if you aren't able to locate a matching replacement wheel you'll need to replace all four of them if you want matching wheels on your car.

My rims look exactly like 8W0601025AN but they're only in 19 inch size from what I could find. My tires say the wheels I have are 18inch. I bought the car from the dealership and I don't know if they or previous owner changed the wheels.

It been two months and they can't figure it out either (took the car in 5 times). At this point I will take your advise and ask them to change all 4. Too bad, I really like that rim pattern 😕

Thanks for the info uberwgn. I know my question is in the blinker fluid category but not being able to find this rim anywhere for two months is insane. It has me asking dumb questions as you've noticed.

Well, have someone remove a wheel for you and get the information from it as SMac has instructed. It may not be an Audi wheel if nobody here can ID it for you.

Have you contacted any wheel repair shops to see if they can repair your wheel? Where is the air leaking from?

When I bought the car I purchased wheel and tire coverage through Vantage Administration Services. I've only taken it to the dealership because that's where I purchased the insurance. At first they said it was the tire. They put installed new tire and the leak continued so now they say it's the rim.

I would take it to an actual tire shop and forget about the wheel and tire coverage at this point. Think of it as going to a specialist.
