I don't see any kind of security lock or special key feature on them. Talk about asking to be ripped off.

I could see it on one of Jay Leno's Ferarri's or Lambo's or something, but for anybody that punches a clock for a living ....... man, I don't get it.

I like the vague description "highest quality" "track tested" "proven performance." So what is it mean to be highest quality? When the tested it on the track, what did it show? How did the performance change using these lugnuts?

I hate vague sales pitches. I guess you will always get a sucker.
