Actually there are 15" OEM rims for Audi with 4x108 pattern.
Ronal made the R8 rims not only for Audi but also for general public.
Since Ronal was the OEM for Audi I guess you can consider them OEM.
I know of a place in Toronto that still has a set of brand new R8 
15x6 with ET45 and the 4x108 pattern for sale.  They are asking $450 
for the set.

Sorry.  No such thing as a 4x108 15" VW rims.
