Great product for those with aftermarket wheels & or lug nuts

I have been looking for a product like this for awhile now. I hate how when removing the wheel you either scratch the lug nuts or the hole surrounding it. This is especially true when you have a tire place removing your wheel. So, I found these: http://www.eppys.com/ProductHighligh...ProductID=1754. They are plastic lined on the inside and the outside, that way it can't scratch your expensive lug nuts or damage your wheel! Definitely a great investment for those of us with expensive wheels/lut nuts.

well their are 4 keys per set of 20 lug nuts, so it would not work on those four lug nuts.

I use Gorilla splined lugs, so every lug nut is a lock (all 20 of them).

Nice. Wish I had found this years ago. Too late now.

I got a similar set from Griot's garage. These are less expensive, too late now.

everybody & there mom uses those, your "Key" is almost a standard tool in everyone's tool box.

I always thought it would be an interesting idea to have a company that custom cut a lugnut that has a unique profile that is a serial numbered item that requires the owner to register and apply for a spare/ replacement key.

You could still just hammer on a socket and have them off just as quickly

If someone wants to steal your wheels they are going to take them lol

The sockets look nifty
