I just got a new set of wheels in from LMR (GT7, satin black, 19x10). They came with a set of spline drive lug nuts and I have to be honest that it's the first I've dealt with these. I've always used a set of keyed lug nuts for security, but I'm not entirely sure there are even security lug nuts that will fit the holes on these wheels? I'm guessing the holes are a bit slimmer than the stock wheels, etc.? I haven't mounted these wheels yet to get a really good look.
For that matter these spline drive nuts and the thin walled 'key' for them might make removing them without the key even more difficult than I see dozens of Youtube videos detailing how to use a socket to whack over a keyed lug to remove them without the key. I'm guessing the spline lug keys are much easier to come by though.
So, do people trust the spline lugs for security or are there some slim locking lug nuts that are recommended? I'm not seeing much unless you order an entire set of lugs with a security lug for each wheel included.
