Bummer. Big time. However, it occured to me that VW and Audi have a certain
parts commonality, so maybe, just maybe...

Does anyone know if there was ever a VW rim that was 15x5.5(or 15x6) with
the 4x108 bolt pattern and a 45 offset? Alloy or steel, matters not to me.
I'd just like to avoid the normal aftermarket chromed monstrosity that
tends
to dominate the wheel market.<

Can't be too sure about the offsets, but Audi made lots of 4x108 15 inch
wheels. In Germany I had trouble finding a 5 hole Audi wheel in a junkyard,
lots and lots of 4x108's.  You can't get just about any size aftermarket
wheel with the 4x108 pattern.  AZEV makes a  4x108 hole, 8.5x18 inch wheel
with Audi offsets  (good luck finding a tire with that narrow a profile). 
They make a wheel similar to the Fuchs in every size from 7x15 to 8.5x18.  
AZEV, Rondell, and Aluett seem to have a fair selection in these sizes.

 What I don't see in my Audi wheels guide is anything as skinny as 5.5.

BTW:  Ford also has 4x108 and 5x112 wheels, but they may not be
"hubcentric," so be careful.  I don't know hub diameters.
