I found this exact rim from one of the local shop and they even offer this same rim in gunmetal finish (quite nice!).
They said the bolts pattern and offset (ET 45) are good except for the bore size. The MB's bore size is bigger (66.56 for MB vs. 57.1 for Audi) and if I still want to install this rim, i will have to machine the rims and make the opening bigger to fit the MB.
Can someone validate if this is truth or not?

I was thinking, if I can't get a hold of the R8's with a good price I might get the RS4 19 inch replica's. The good thing about the RS4 rims are that the bore size will fit perfectly I heard for our cars. Can anyone confirm this? Here's a pic:
