Subject:      Fwd:EMPI center caps (was 15 AUDI)

>Has anyone used short EMPI aluminum caps for their 15" AUDI wheels? At the recent bug show in Toronto, I picked up some cool caps with the Wolfsburg emblem on them. The diameter is 2 5/8" with allen screws to tighten against the inner wall of the wheel hub.
