WTF? 'Lugnuts' on SS rims?
WTF? 'Lugnuts' on SS rims? First time Ive thought to observe the lugnuts on my rims to check if they are tight since Ive purchased the car...imagine my surprise when I found out they were plastic and popped off. Here is what scares me though....what is under there isnt a typical lugnut bolt but some wierd looking bolt with what could almost be described as 'slots' in it. What is going on here and how in the hell do I remove these things?
Those are the locking lugnuts, you should've gotten a key (an adapter that fits the slots) for them when you bought the car.
If you didn't you'll have to hammer a socket on them to take them off, and replace them.

I figured these cars had locking lugnuts it just happened that the one that i took off of each was the locking lugnut. Add poor visibility due to it being nighttime and your old man pestering the **** out of you and its easy to get worried over something stupid. pretty sure ALL f bodies came with locking lugnuts from the factory
my no option police B4C camaro came with locking lugnuts and it just has snowflakes, i dont think there is much of a demand out there for stolen 16 inch 10 spokes lol

Locking lugs WERE NOT standard. I have chrome ZR1's and they had the stock lugs with the stupid plastic covers on them. Locks were either SLP options(SS, Firehawk) or dealer options(all others). Neither of my previous 2 F bodies had locks either(94 V6 Camaro/Firebird).

Hmmmmmmmmm...I bought mine off the showroom floor that someone else had ordered (and couldn't pay for). It had them, and I know it wasn't an SLP option since it wasn't listed on that sticker. I'll go check the window sticker...
I bought mine brand new also, and it didn't have locks on it, I about tore the interior apart looking for the damn key (my IROC had locks) then I noticed none of the wheels had locks
