They probably do have the same bolt pattern, but i am not sure there are a lot of 11-12" audi or vw wheels

I asked him. His Porsche wheels were "Avant Garde" brand and he got them from Element Motorsports. Said they were about $400 a pop.
He also said Porsche forums often have good deals on wheels in classifieds.

Thanks, I stumbled across Avant Garde last week and have some picked out.
Of course, they have a reputation (like all cheap wheels) of bending and cracking but that seems more problematic on heavier cars like Benz and Audis. For 1500 or so a set, I plan to give them a try
