Default Gorilla lugs are all the same key??!!

We have 3 sets of the Gorilla lugs (one for my car, one for my GFs car, and one we just got because the set for the GFs car didnt have a key) and they are all the same key I figured the chances were one in a few that mine and hers would match up, but they did and the 3rd set arrived this moring and its the same numbers and key also..... Freak thing or are they all the same?

Very odd, and a little unnerving . . . .

They imply on their website that all the keys are different. I have two sets also that work with the same key.

well that sure is gay. thats something i thought about when i ordered my gorilla lugs last month. I went ahead and got them anyway, look nice but now after this i'm nervous. i was planning on getting new wheels soon too, argh.

anyone ever heard of Rad wheellocks ? a friend with a BMW suggested them, figures they're made in Germany. but anyone have experience with them or heard about them b4 ?
