... I can tell you for a fact that the lug bolt caps are available
separately.  I know that I have posted the P/N in the past, but could not
find it in my archives ... probably because I sent them from the AOL address
at home.  I found that they were the same basic part number as the similar
caps for the QTC's Ronals with the color code changed to reflect the grey
color.  AAMOF, I found that it _should_be_ possible to get properly colored
caps for the Audi locking lug bolts.  I think that I may have been looking
this up for Wolff ... if so, he may be able to chime in with the answer.

It has been a while, but my recollection was that with the q-list discount,
the price for the caps was somewhere around $1 each ... and yes, they will
fit over any 17mm lug bolt ...

HTH!
