15" wheel centre caps
- Thread starter A2GWB
- Start date
They are cheap Chinese centre caps that are sold to replace OEM part number 4B0601170 7ZJ, which are the centre caps used on the 6Jx16 ET35 5/100 57.1 alloy rim with OEM part number 8Z0601025M Z17.
However, the centre caps for the 5.5Jx15 ET34 5/100 57.1 alloy rims with OEM part number 8Z0601025A Z33 have OEM part number 8N0601170 Z33 as you can see in the Audi parts catalogue.
Note that the 8N0601170 Z33 centre cap wasn't just used on the Audi A2, but other cars such as the Audi A3, Audi TT, etc.

That's great - do you know if they definitely fit?These look to be the same, but a little cheaper.

If you order wrong size.www.ebay.co.uk
I read somewhere the diameter on these wheels is a strange size.

In a word, no - they won't.
What @carlston is pointing out is that they're sold as fitments for a different style of wheel than the one you've got. But the point gets lost in all the part numbers and specs.
I have a set of those 15" wheels with original centre caps (not for sale). From my measurement, you will need 57mm diameter, not 60mm.

These original centre caps were know as "brushed alluminium". Ten years ago they were £33 each from Audi but still available for 21 euros from tradition.......

OK thanks for your help so far all.
I think I am going to order these centre caps and put these 3D stickers over the top.
Fingers crossed they fit and don't look naff.

that's exactly what i did and they look great
The below photo shows the kind of measurements that you need to check. It's very easy to order the wrong size, and the seller that you have linked to on ebay ships from China with 2-3 weeks for delivery. If they don't fit, the seller will expect you to pay for the return postage to China...which is more than the purchase price...so they will go in the bin.
Notice in the photo below, that there are two important diameter measurements. The outside diameter (marked D in the photo) and the inside diameter (marked S in the photo).

@depronman Paul 3d printed me some new ones - you may wish to check that out as an option. They fitted well.
In the world of aftermarkets I've found Etsy has a large selection of Audi wheel centers in one place to browse, mostly Chinese no doubt but visually effective if not original. I bought 4 for £8 last year and with a slight tweak fitted perfectly, still look good and most importantly are still there.

the wheels i bought came with the 57mm (i think) black inserts and bbs stickers. i removed these and put some ebay audi ones on
