I forgot about it, my friend has one and we used it on his and mine. They do hold up quite well.

theres like 20 different keys so..... if the theif wants to go start collecting keys... then yeah... but i can't see a theif spending that kinda money to get ur wheels, when they can find an easier targert

If they are oem wheel locks, they can be taken off easy. I used to work at americas tires and there will be some customers that lost the keys to their wheels locks. We had this special socket that you would hammer onto the wheel lock thatll cut in grooves into it so you can be able to turn it. I dont know if they have a special socket for aftermarket lugs since ive never seen anyone come in with em.
