 parts catalogue, for the A8. This wheel is steel, 7x16 et42,  >>

are you sure this isnt one for the A4??   On my '86 audi 5k Turbo (which
originally had the 15x6et45), i have  16x7 et37 five spoke silver alloys from
a A8 on the front (to clear tie rod ends better, tho it isnt necessary) and
16x7 et 45 five spoke silver alloys from a A4 on the back.
i have not seen any A8 wheels with a 42mm offset, full size steel, or alloy.
usually they're 30 something mm (being either the 16' or the 17").  But -
they look identical to the A4 wheels, so maybe it could have been one of
those?

PS, today i saw a '98 up Passat with a set of A4 wheels on it...looked pretty
sharp..
