Waste of money. A 12-point 13/16" or 3/4" socket and a sledge hammer are all that's needed to remove them. I do it all the time for people who lose their keys.

I think the main benefit, is sledge hammering on your wheel will set off your car alarm. Careful jacking and removing lug nuts won't most of the time.
Well to give a reply about the actual topic i got mine from this company.
The main reason i got them was to get black ones to match my rims.... which i recently paid for with a flat on the highway with no lug key sad.gif had to get it towed, and watch my bumper fold and exhaust drag the ground for about 5 feet. besides that i have no complaints, just remember to leave the key in your glove box or some where in your car smile.gif
