Where can I buy a 2000 A8 Hubcap?
Does anyone have a source for hubcaps? I need a center cap for a 2000 A8 satin chrome 5-spoke wheel. The part number is 4D0 601 170 A. It also has the letters LWF on it. I've been searching the net and can't find it. I guess it is fairly rare.

Used at ehubcap.com
Looks like the ones from ECS Tuning are new for $57.22 each.
I found some used at Find Center Caps | Custom Wheel Hubcaps | Refurbished Centercaps | New Hub Cap for $35 each. I'll let you know if it was worth the savings.

I received my 4 hubcaps from ehubcap.com for $35 each. They are definitely used. You wouldn't mistake them for new. However, they are acceptable.
My old caps are part no. 4D0 601 170 A LWF. Three of the 4 new caps exactly match my old ones. They have a yellowish tint. But they have a different part no. than my old ones. These 3 new ones are part no. 8936 01170 LWF.
The 4th one does not have the yellowish tint. It is more silvery chrome. And its part no. is 8936 01170 LH3.
I'm not going to complain. These four were the only 2.5 inch Audi hubcaps ehubcap.com had. No one will ever be able to tell the difference anyway (except me).
The backs of my old caps were highly corroded, despite a thin plastic applique. I removed the plastic applique (or should I say it fell off). I then sanded and painted the backs of the new ones with Dupli-Color High Performance Wheel Coating in metallic gray. I hope this keeps them from corroding.
