In my opinion and experience these are more problems than they are worth. More likely to get flat tires vice a stolen wheel. I just tried to help a soccer mom with flat on her crossover SUV. She could not find the lug key. I've seen that or the key is distorted and no longer works. The only hope is vicegrips- if you can get in there- most likely you can't on recessed lugholes. So that leaves the sacrificial chinese 14 MM socket. Yep, who says you should not buy junky tools. Everyone needs crappy tools to sacrifice to the"Get R Done!" God. Flea market cheap tools can be used for such awful tasks. My advice: trash the lock lugs for regular lugs!
