Strange Wheel Problem...Please help

[Dave Hord]

First question is when did you last have the stock rims and tires on the car?  
Perhaps something has changed since you stopped using them?

Secondly, are you sure you have the correct hubcentric rings?  My father had 
this problem on his A4 1.8T, and it turns out they sold him the rims with the 
incorrect rings.

Just my guesses...
