I have a set of these unused (the realy light kind) at my house with little use for them.
Phone dials? Comeon! And my other wheels have a different radius than the original P-car style lugnuts.
I can certainly part with them for less than $55... send me an email <cjgrobmyer@att.net>

Thanks Chris but I'm kinda short on money right now, the wheels set me back a few hundred and the tires a few more. But I'll email you before getting them from someplace else.

I have the same set. They are pretty soft aluminum, so be careful and don't torque them too hard. This style lock is great, very hard to get off without the key. If you bang a socket on them, they will just compress into a mushroom and snap the head off. If you chisel, chances are you'll bust the head off of it as well. However, you can drill them out, but you must do it in many small steps.
For a thief, drilling is usually not an option. Banging a socket on them is, and they are designed to shear off and leave the base (and your wheels) behind.
Good stuff!1

Are wheels locks really that necessary these days?
I mean, nowadays, people don't steal stereos and wheels, THEY STEAL WHOLE CARS! Wheel locks won't prevent that!
Just my $0.42,

I picked up a set of steel wheel locks off ebay for $25 shipped back when I got my Fuchs. They need the "key" that has 4 pins that fit into the lock and allows for you to remove them. There's no way to easily remove them without the "key" and with the little plastic cap that goes on them they look Just like factory lugnuts. I don't see any on ebay right now, I'll try to snap a few pictures and update this with them tomorrow.

And.. my best friend had his entire competition system stolen out of his car, along with a few hundred CD's from his work parking lot in at 3 in the afternoon.
The whole car thing, hit that in the other thread.
