Replacement alloy wheel centre caps - where to buy?

[A4 stu]

My A4 has the SE alloys like in this picture:

I need replacement centrecaps but the genuine parts are very expensive. Where can I buy decent replicas?

I have searched eBay but there are many different varieties and the listings I have looked at all require you to check yourself to determine if they will fit.

Is it simply a case of making sure the diameter is correct?

I am in UK.

Yeah. Just measure yours and it should be fine. I git 2 of them for £15 on auction.

get the part number off your existing ones and put it into ebay

I've looked into this. I did as Aragorn suggests and tbh that type of centre cap isn't in plentiful supply as they all suffer from pitting/corrosion. When they do come up they're quite expensive and not mint condition. IIRC you can buy pattern part versions?

I have found these - they look identical but all plastic.

I have no doubt they will be nowhere near the Audi quality but mine are shot and there's no way these could look any worse!

If I order I will update with my opinion of them.

You need 4B0601165C those are A instead...

Might fit though, and there are no C's on ebay.

The genuine ones have only outside metal. Inside are plastic. I'm pretty sure you can clean up any corrosion with high grade sandpaper so they look like new.
