Measure outside diameter, inside diameter and thickness.
Then also notice how the rings are secured inside the rim. Some simply press in, some use retaining clips etc.
With that information, Tirerack should be able to find a suitable match.

Re: I need hubcentric rings, but how do I know what size?
most audi's (if not all) have a 57.1mm center bore. the center bore of the rim will of course be dependent on its intended application, but odds are that if it has a 5x112 bolt pattern it will be either 57.1mm (audi) or 66.5mm (mercedes), though i'm sure there are other more unusual sizes out there.
hope this helps

It will be dependent upon what wheel you have.
Audis have a standard (for Audi) 57mm center bore.
Aftermarket wheels (good ones) will be hubcentric (if not already when cast) thru use of the ring, but due to the opening, chamfered edges, the opening/room in the wheel itself.
Basically it depends upon what wheel you have, in other words. If it is a wheel I carry, then I can help you for some. otherwise you will need to track down the mfr./distributor for the specific whel that you have, as they are by no means a generic item.

I actually have the original technomagnesios pictured here...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/1048/wheel.jpg"></center><p>
The company no longer exists (it's not the same one that is in business today as you are probably already aware of) so I have no way of tracking down the mfg. Is there a way I can measure it myself? I actually have ONE ring...for some reason that one stuck with the rim. Can I just measure that? This doesn't happen to be something I can pickup at a local hardware store, is it? It seems like it is something that they could carry.
