Audi actually supplied a plastic stud that did exactly that.  I found one 
in the trunk of a '91 200TQ in the junk yard once.

I solved the whole stupid problem on my 5KCSTQ by installing studs in all 
4 hubs.  Its alot easier to change wheels now.  I hate wheel bolts.  
Studs/nuts are much better.
