You can get 'metal coloured' ones on ebay but not with one that covers the locking nut.
They are 34 pence each from Audi (locking nut one is a different part number but same price )

If you go on ebay you will find dozens of different ones. You can actually buy chrome headed bolts but you can't get the locking bolt !
You can pick these up on Ebay: Genuine Audi - Full Wheel Nut Cap/Cover Set - Grey | eBay
They will fit the Black Edition wheels fine and are genuine.

I got a set a while ago and thy do come with the locking nut covers in the pack mine seemed to tight to put on so I put them in a dish of hot water and they went on great
I'm fairly certain that it has not eaten into it. Any wax product they might have used shows up as a white stain on the wheel cap. I've had this problem over and over, after cleaning them again they always come up fine. Use tar remover, or anything that will remove wax off plastic just to make sure that it is actually wax as opposed to damage.
