Yes, this is the stock "16V alloy" or more commonly called "teardrop alloy"
wheel.  There is a VW/Audi part no. on the wheel under the center cap.  It
will be a 9 digit # like all the parts and may have a letter suffix. BTW
the rims are 6" x 14".  As for the scratches maybe some wheel polish and
buffing.  Good luck.
