Any recommendations for M14x1.5x32mm wheel locks? (for 5mm spacers)

I have ECS Tuning for OE Austins plus flush spacer kit.
Works fine. Black so blends. OE plastic bolt caps do not fit over. FYI. It black and hard to notice. Also tells others you have wheels locks. Deterent. Some.
ECS also sells other sizes. Call them and give your set up.

I Use RAD ones.
Unless something has changed with VMR, their wheels are designed to use OEM lug bolts for VW and Mercedes fitments unless you requested conical lug bolts. Unless your wheels were made for conical bolts, you should be using the OEM ball seat style bolts. You should check that out for your safety.
An S4 would use the same spec lug bolt as a factory VW wheel, ball seat 14mm x 1.50 thread size, ~27mm threaded length below the seat. Do you know that you need a conical seat bolt?
I'm trying to help but you're ignoring what I'm saying. Let ME say it plainly, again:
Unless your VMR wheels were special ordered or modified with conical seats in the wheels, they would use the OEM "ball seat" lug bolts found on Audi and VW vehicles. That spec is 14mm x 1.50 thread, ball seat, ~27mm threaded length below the seat.
If you wheels have been modified or built by VMR to use a conical seat lug bolt, good for you. I'd guess the specs on the bolt stay the same as far as length, so you'd order a 14mm x 1.50 thread, cone seat, ~27mm threaded length lock.
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by the wheel came with "lugs and conical nuts". Do you mean you also got a lug bolt "stud conversion"?
I'm having to assume you confirmed that you NEED conical seat lug bolts by looking at the wheels and not just trusting the bolts that came with it are correct, because 99% of VMR wheels are NOT conical seat. Using conical seat lug bolts on a ball seat is incorrect and dangerous as you're not contacting enough of the wheel seat to retain torque, and your wheels can come off.
Just do yourself a big favor and check, or if you're not sure have your mechanic or qualified shop check for you. I'm not being difficult for fun, I'm asking you to check that your car is safe.

The wheels came from VMR with the conical lugs?
If you bought them used, that could be the problem here...the previous owner may have used the wrong lugs and therefore damaged the wheels, because they're typically ball seat with VMR's
But, as already said, you'd want a 27mm-30mm length wheel lock
