Hubcentric wheels on A8
I consider purchasing a set of alloy wheels for the winterperiod. I like the alloys of the mark "Rondell" (its German) and in particular the type "Design 52". Before ordering these alloys, how can I find out whether these wheels are hubcentric for my Audi A8 3.7 Quattro (2000)?? What information do you need to find out, and where can you find it?
thanks

You need to find out what their centerbore is...
OEM Audi centerbore is 57.1 mm so if the wheel you're looking at also has a 57.1 mm centerbore, then it will be hubcentric.
However, most aftermarket rims aren't hubcentric so that they can fit a variety of cars, not just Audis. And that is not a problem. When you purchase aftermarket rims, the seller should include a set of centering rings (hub rings) along with the rims for a perfect fit. Nothing wrong with such a setup - very common.
