http://www.clair.com has some on display near their parts
counter.  They're alloys.  The story I got was that some cars
(A6's, as I recall) rolled of the truck with these on them
and the salesnazis decided they're just too ugly to sell, so
took 'em off.  I bought a set for my A4's snows, and they fit
fine.

They have 9 or 10 (I forget) flat spokes, and the center is
painted a medium gray.  Four rings on the center cap, ohmaybe
1 inch high.  Mine came with Goodyear Eagles on them.

I paid $200 apiece in '98, as I recall, and got $50 each
for the tires from the shop I bought the snows from.  $150--
not bad for brand new factory alloys, even if they are ugly.

Oh, 15 inch; don't know the offset but as I said, they fit
an A4.
