The ones with the pattern on the inside are VERY common, and every key is the same. I myself have three keys that match those patterns and I dont even have those lugnuts. The ones with the small little pattern on the top that are round on the outside suck. They strip out easy and are very easy to break out with a lug removal kit. The best ones I've seen come in the Pacer wheel installation kits we get at work. They require a key, but they are sunk in on the outside, and it makes them slightly harder to break off.

Still though, anyone with a Snap-on/Mac/Matco tool account can get a lug removal kit, in which case theres next to no way to stop them.

Or like i said before i think its freeon or some chemical like whats in a/c and freezers. you spray it on and it super freezes the metal , then it it with a hammer and it shatters. But those are nice , they look like allen rench would get it like somone said too.
