Maybe going off at a bit of a tangent but I bought some similar ones ages ago now, thinking they would fit pre-FL D2 S8 Avus wheels, part number 4B0 601 165A.

These have a more domed centre than the 8D0 ones and are blatantly cheap Chinese copies despite having all relevant markings. Just Google the part number to see what style they are if unsure.

Anyway, they didn't fit properly even after "bodging" the back of one to cut away some surplus plastic, and have just been sitting in my garage as I don't need them now.
I'm not 100% sure what wheels they are for, but someone may have a use if they've lost one or more.

If anyone wants them, you can have them for the price of P&P, just PM me if interested. There are 3 untouched plus one with some plastic missing on the back (but central fixing lugs intact).

That is the part number for genuine Audi caps, but they are off an old A3/A4/A6 wheel.

this might seem a daft question, but how do i remove the centre caps from my 20" FE wheels? ive got a set of locking wheel nuts and it just occured to me that the caps need to come off first :)

A big heavy screwdriver works for me, if you can't get it in between the cap and the wheel use a hammer to bray it home.......;)

Each centre cap will have a small hole (on the chrome ring if I remember rightly) which you hook into to pull them off. Chances are you won't have the proper tool so do what I did, bend some stiff wire to 90 degrees and create your own +++
