This is a great price for all 20 nuts. I just put a set of genuine GM locking nuts on my 03' and four cost me $40. Wish I had seen this earlier!

I'd surely WANT to shoot them. Maybe worse! But keyboard bravado aside, spending money for lawyers and risk spending time in jail/prison just doesn't appeal to me.

My opinion exactly. Your car or wheels could be replaced - if you were caught doing this the likelihood of your life changing FOREVER would be high. Not a good return on investment.
