Default McGard Wheel Locks for S4?

I'm about to put S4 wheels on my A4 and am wonderting whether anyone has used McGard locks on their S4 wheels. Is there a type that works with these wheels? What type?

Thanks.

Default I bought the factory locking bolts for my S4 ...

and currently I have them (of course it's only one per wheel) on my BBS RC wheels. They aren't the same locking mechanism as McGard (require a special lug nut key right ?). They actually have a cover that is removed with a little key to gain
access to the lug bolt. I have no clue which is the better way to do it, I just got them because I knew I'd be putting BBS on the car...<p>David Bishop

McGard locks work better than the Audi locks. As a bonus, they cost a lot less.

Default Re: McGard Wheel Locks for S4?

I just bought a set of the McGard wheel locks for my S4 with the factory Avus wheels. The correct McGard part number is 28018. They fit great with one locking bolt per wheel. They are chrome and thus do not match the black factory bolts, but since they are under the plastic hub cap - who cares. The key fits the standard 17mm factory lug wrench as well. They cost $27.50 and I ordered them from my local NAPA auto parts store.
