How would you rebolt 5x112 to 5x120? Even if it's possible, it's not worth it, considering the trouble. And even if you get the wheel to actually sit on the hub, you're still face with the offset and width of the wheels.

It seems like a lot of trouble just to get a set of wheels for your car. You'd have to match the following:

1) 5x120 bolt pattern
2) Hub diameter (can you get the proper centering rings with the wheels for it to fit a BMW?)
3) Offsets (conservative offsets run 35ET/40ET, front/rear for aftermarket wheels that are staggered)
4) TPMS (you'd have to pay the labor to take them off your car & put on the wheels or buy a whole new set for the Audi aftermarket wheels)

If you're looking for wheels & you like "Audi" style ones, check out http://www.velocitymotoring.com/links/wheels_v708.htm

plaster the current holes and drill new ones.... remember to use a diamond tip drill bit, or else you wont penetrate the wheel...

Well if you can get past the bolt pattern, most of the offsets for the audi are within the 3 series range so you will probably be OK. What offset are the wheels your trying to put on?
