Muteki SR48 Lug Nut: This is a longer (48mm) closed-end lug nut that includes a special socket key to remove and install the lug nuts. This is a great option to help protect your wheels from getting stolen. The SR48 Lug Nuts are manufactured out of cold-forged 1008 steel, which allows the construction to be stronger then oem lug nuts and much lighter. These weigh in at only 50 grams; much less than the weight of standard lug nuts.

If you think of it like this you have in effect 20 locking wheel nuts, rather than 4 which you would get in a standard locking wheel nut set.
If I hadn't of bought a set of Volks Formula wheel nuts then I would buy another set without a doubt.

The SR48's use a very specific wheel socket size and it is non standard, if you have a look at the sides of the wheel nuts they have ridges on them - this means you cannot use any old socket on them, you have to use the specific socket that comes with the wheel nut set.

Can`t see the ridges though, only on the locking set in the separate pic

I made an error stating about the ridges as like I said I was doing twenty things at the same time, but as I have stated earlier the non standard specific size of M17 means that they cannot be removed with just any old long socket.
Sorry for any confusion caused but what I meant to say above still stands - as you have 20 non standard wheel nuts in my eyes they are still going to act as locking wheel nuts, in fact I think they are better than the run of the mill locking wheel nuts which if you are a seasoned pro at stealing wheels (which I am not
) can be bypassed very quickly.I am trying to help out on this thread as it seems I am the only member of here who has actually used / owned a set of these wheel nuts, and before anyone states it I am not connected to the group buy in anyway.

As I said I'll call him tomorrow and see what he's willing to agree to
If you bought the more expensive nuts you'd save more than the postage
