Default I don't know the exact specified length, but it is approximately 1/1 inch longer than stock.

I know because I had a relatively hard time finding locking wheel bolts for it when I installed my RE's.

Default Option 1: Momo locks, Option 2: Dealer (Audi) locks Cost about 50CAD, and are very good quality but.

these are too short. These are only a few millimeters longer than the stock bolts and you run the risk of having it come off and destroying threads on its way out if it is yanked off.

The momo locks I picked up again at the AUDI dealer but they only set me back 35 CAD (25USD). I am not crazy about the finish on these because it looks like a cheap attempt to chrome the locks that could peel off with time. However, these are almost the identical length as those provided with the RE's so you are safe.

Hope this helps.
