Strange noises/Fuch wheels

[DH5481@aol.com]

Over the last week or so I've noticed what sounds like a 'scoring' noise.
 Car is an 87 5KCSTQ.  Symptoms are as follows:  Can hear best at low speeds
(1st and 2nd gear).  'Seems' like its coming from the passenger side front.
 Thought at first it was a pad dragging, but it appears to stop/go away
during a gear shift.  When coming to a stop it is heard all the way to dead
stop.  Does not get louder, if anything, as car warms up, it lessens.  First
started hearing it when the cold weather (<40F) came to town.
Can I figure this is one of the famed Audi wheel bearings going south?  I
would prefer that to a front differential (did one of those on a '79 FWD).

I believe I have the Fuch wheels on my 87.  These are silver alloy 5 spoke -
holes are almost 'heart-shaped'.  Center caps are about 3" w/Audi logo.  One
of my caps is cracked/busted.  Does anyone have a source/price on a
replacement cap?

TIA
