Forever ago, McGard made the keys "inverted" compared to now...the actual key portion was external (i.e. not surrounded by a socket like they are now). My mom slid into a curb with her car that had that type locking wheel lug. Aluminum wheel + steel locking lug nut is bad enough, add on the fact that the key now only had about 1/8" of material to put torque on....yeah, that was a curse filled couple days for sure!
Ever since then my dad makes the dealer remove wheel locks when he buys cars. He bought a 1 year old Corvette, told them to drive it into the shop and take off the wheel lugs before delivery. 1 hour later they finally had them all off.
You're right...who the heck wants stock wheels? And anyone that wants to take my huge heavy a$$ plastic clad 20's can have em!
