6N2 GTI OEM Wheel Bolts

I'm looking to buy some locking wheel bolts for my 6N2 GTI & I've got the standard BBS alloys.
Can someone please let me know what size bolts I need, I know they are 28mm long and that I need the radius type but am unsure if it's M12X1.5 or M14Xsomething?
Also, what size are the black plastic bolt covers that go on the end: 16mm, 17mm etc?
Thanks

I used a 17mm socket to get my wheels off yesterday, so unless they need to be 1mm bigger or something, 17mm should do.
Beware though - you'll need different caps for the locking ones compared to the non-locking ones (they're slightly shallower (I think) and I think have a different pattern inside). eBay will most likely be cheap for them.
You've also reminded me to go and put mine back on. Wonder if the thought will out live the rain though?!
