*****UPDATE 3-1-16****** these have now gone through a NE Ohio winter and brown spots are showing up on the edges contacted when you install them. Not sure if it's something that will be easily removed and stopped with a light coat of WD40 or if this is the start of their demise. I have summer and winter wheels, plus when I go off road I switch to the winter wheels so they will be on and off quite frequent. Will try to update more. So far still would purchase again.
I ended up needing to contact the manufacturer to get an additional set of four and key that matched my set. With the paperwork that came with the this kit they were able to send me a matched set for my exterior spare tire. (Yes, I bought the additional set.) I would see doing this again a few times to get the same exact key set for all of my vehicles. As it is, I have a key for the tires locked in my vehicles security box and one in my tool chest in my garage. It was a win/win situation.
During the period of not having my car, I did a lot of research on car alarms and wheel locks. I settled on the "The System" by Gorilla. I ordered via Amazon and I installed them the day I got my car back.
While I hear about people leaving the "key" inside their car, I figured I would leave mine in my house. If I go on a road trip, perhaps I would carry it in the vehicle, but if I'm local, I feel safer not having the key inside my car. This decision turned out to be the right one, as not more than 3 months later an attempt to steal my wheels was committed a second time(I can only assume by the same group of people). This time they broke out my passenger-side window and searched my entire car looking for the key that was hidden in my house. The thieves left empty-handed that night.
So while I got stuck with a 300.00 bill to fix my window and even more frustration, in the end, I was very satisfied with my purchase of these locks. The only thing they can't do is help me sell my house faster so I can get the heck outta' here!

Packaging/Item:
The whole packaging was exactly as shown on the amazon item's page. They have a matte black texture, rather than a glossy/chrome look.
Durability:
So far these lug nuts are pretty durable - no color chips or scratches were seen, but only time will tell when the wear and tear will start showing. I've recently driven my car from Ontario to New Brunswick and (Thank Goodness) no problems with these lug nuts.
So far there's no issues with the product. If you're on a budget and looking for a solid replacement to your stock lug nuts, "The System" is a pretty solid choice.
