Assuming they are the same as the Octavia (and loads of other VAG cars), they will be M14X1.5X27 - whatever that means. A 17mm socket fits nicely.

I have the Octavia Pegasus alloys on 16" from the Octavia Estate but I kept the standard wheel nuts/locking nuts from the origonal vRS alloys so they could well be the same?

M14 is 14mm thread diameter,
1.5 is 1.5mm pitch (the distance between each turn of the thread
27 is the length of the bolt. I can't remember if that is the threaded part or both the threaded part and the unthreaded part.

Unfortunately that doesn't tell you what spanner will fit it!

However, this website has a table (table 7.7) with standard spanner sizes and bolt sizes. An M14 comes out as a 17mm open spanner, or a 30mm socket (the 30mm is the external diameter of the socket).
