After purchasing some takeoff wheels i need new lugnuts. 60 degree face and thin as the holes arent even big enough to take a thin wall socket and the old lug nuts. Has anyone used something like this and had success?

So you’re saying that your Nuts are too big? :D
Mostly Good reviews of this product, but I noticed that the keyed Spline socket is also available to buy separately. So, not really a security lock.

You need to find out wheel hole diameter compared to the lug nuts. A lot of wheels have super-tight tolerances, so you just have to purchase the right lug nuts. Usually, those splined type are skinny enough to allow a thin wall socket into the wheel hole.

Similar/same lug nuts I bought for takeoff Dodge wheels with tight clearance and deep recesses to the rim contact surface. No reason to think they wouldn’t work
