If the sportwagen tdi came with more options like the JSW SEL I would have gotten the tdi. But apparently VWNA thinks people that buy the tdi aren't interested in power/memory leather seats, climate control, homelink, better audio, multifunction steering wheels and 17'' rims

Yup. I used to frequent the Vortex back in '01, when deep dish and shaved door handles were in and stretch and poke was just beginning to catch on. Lots of cool people on there.

Even now, the majority of the VW owners I know are great people. Very unique, and out of the box, great people.

Props to the VW crowd for going against the norm.

I agree with the OP and I also agree with this post ... but I don't care how 'out of the box you are' - if you are going to use OEM wheels from another maker, change the damn caps.

I can agree with this. Very few cars pull it off, but most look out of place with another manufacturer's center caps.

I'm going to have to disagree with this. . .

The VW scene is all about being different, that's the style and there will always be haters. Brand swapping, poke, streched tire. . . it's all part of the community.

It's not at all the fact that people who own VW's don't know what brand of car they're driving, like mentioned before, it's just a style. The caps are a part of the wheel, swapping them would take away from the 'uniqueness' of the look. Why does it bother you? I'll never know....

People prefer changing the caps, I get that. But it isn't like all those wheels have interchangeable caps with each other. Sometimes the only choice is to leave them on.

I rock Mercedes wheel on my TT and they look great I must add
You are right, I searched forever trying to find Audi caps and even Ronal caps (since Ronal is the actual manufacturer of the wheels and not Mercedes) and i still came up empty... I still didn't want to leave Mercedes caps, so i got a friend to fab up something (vinyl = temporary solution) and it actually looked good and still have them to this day, 2+ years later.

The new B8 A4/S4 and A5/S5 have a new centerbore of 66.6 (same as Mercedes), oppose to the regular 57.1 of all VW/Audi. So with this new larger center bore i hope come the right size center caps for my benz wheels!
