I've seen a lot of references to the centre bore of Audi wheels being 57mm. Just wanted to let you know that I've nabbed a cheap but very nice set of 17" Audi A5 alloys with a centre bore of 66mm - is this widely known, or a relatively new mod to Audi alloys?

All the maths add up (PCD / Offset / overall diameter), but the only thing I'm worried about is the weight of the bus on A5 alloys. Do I just go by the weight of an A5? Or is there a way of finding out the load rating for these new wheels?

Also, any new ideas for a centre cap?

Think its a new mod. Ive seen a few sets of a5 wheels listing the larger centre bore.

The load rating can be usually be found by the part number.

For example:
8T0601025B 17" A5 alloys are load rated to 650kgs each.
