Probably, yes. The only way it won't fit is by the virtue of having the wrong number of bolt holes.

As well as the number of bolts, there's also the diameter of the bolt pattern. The measurement is taken from a circle drawn through the centre of each bolt-hole and is often quoted on wheel specifications. This is called the PCD or pitch circle diameter and is expressed with the number of bolts e.g. 4x100 = 4 bolts with 100mm PCD.

I only know because I was shopping around for some wheels here;

Have a look on the Fittment Guide. Quite an informative page.

Good luck.

you could also have a problem with the offset of the wheels, but should be able to get around that with spacers if it's a problem.

All of that was implied in my answer, as all 5 bolt audi alloys are the same PCD around that era (5x112 (only the TT and A3 have a 5x100)). Fairly sure that the 80 and coupe are similar enough to have the same offset too. It should all be stamped on the inside of the wheel if you've got them handy to check.
