I believe the car was order with the hovering option. Good for the icy roads...

Perhaps because he didn't have locking lug nuts the owner chose to leave his wheels safely at home, thereby avoiding any possibility of a lost key ruining his day 🙂

The splines on the nuts are in towards the wheel so they barely show which makes these lugs look great on your wheels.  This is a vast improvement in looks over the stupid puzzle shape showing on McGard's version that collects dirt and looks ugly over time.  IMHO, this is the best security for high $$ wheels.  Their chrome has lasted extremely well over 25 years on my Pantera and the set I bought 4 years ago for my 70 Mach1 are of the same quality.  You'll need the "Acorn" tapered-seat type (12mm x 1.5N) p/n 71633N in chrome p/n 71633NBC in black chrome.
