Default A8 Center caps wanted code 4E0601025N

Hi all.
Someone was kind enough last night to relive my lovely car (D3) of its centre wheel caps. Iv phoned Audi and been quoted £130 which considering the wheels plus tyres cost me £380 on ebay is abit of a bitter pill, iv included the code in the title and i think they are the wheels that come on the W12.

Iv phoned around some breakers and checked ebay with no luck. Im wondering if anyone has a set or can point me in the right direction to get a set

Heres hoping

Cheers

Look for a very cheap set on ebay that have lots of corrosion around the outer ring and remove the ring.

Thanks 47. im struggling to find ANYTHING corroded or not. Is there any other caps that would fit or is it likely that they are specific to the exact wheel. I fear the latter.

Oooh, is that outer (corroded) part separate? I'm excited! the biggest (only) niggling eyesore on my car could be history!
Going out now to check it...

Yes it comes off, bend the tabs at the back and remove the corroded ring, then clean up the cap with some cutting compound and polish
