Locking wheel nuts were designed to prevent thieves from stealing your wheels off your car. Wheel locking nuts consist of four special lug nuts and one locking key. These special wheel lug nuts have a specific pattern that only the key that comes with the set can install or remove them.

Are Wheel Locking Nuts Necessary?
No. But, it's important never to lose the key because you'll need it if you ever get a flat tyre. However, the locks greatly reduce your risk of losing your wheels and tyres. Wheel theft is a lot less common these days partly due to wheel locks and also the mass production of alloy wheels. Almost every car is sold with a set of alloy wheels compared to the 90's making theft of wheels less likely.
