As much as I like the idea of running VAG rims on my VAG product, I find
that Mercedes is the easiest way to go.  It's so much easier to drill out
the lug holes to 14mm on MB rims, rather than machine or hog out the center
bores on the Audi units.  I found a cheap set of staggered MB 16" rims on
craigslist in ET30 and ET37, so I just had to add a thin 7mm spacer up
front and then buy the appropriate lug bolts/nuts from Loogy.  No muss--no
fuss
