Hello there,

This is my first post and I'm also female so please bear with me, and sorry if this has been covered before!

One of the hub caps on our A8 broke when we got some new tyres fitted the other day. I've looked on ebay and my suspicions are correct - there's loads of different A8 caps! How do I know which one to buy?

The car is an A8 Sport with 17" alloy wheels, and the caps are steel and aluminium (hence the eventual demise) The external diameter is 63mm, a size I haven't found yet. I can just about make out a code on the back but this doesn't seem similar to any other codes as the ones on ebay.

I'd ask the hubby but he's having too much fun knocking a wall down in the bathroom, and I'm used to sourcing mini parts (easy peasy and much cheaper :D).

Are these likely to be difficult to source seeing as they're less "common" ( no offence to lesser hub caps intended)

BTW great website.


Many thanks in advance for any helpful replies

If you can read off the part number from one of the other caps or even from the centre of the wheel I can help. Failing that I can ID the part from the cars reg or chassis number but as you have made less than five posts, I would have to PM you my email.
