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?

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.

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.

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 😕

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.

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.
