It has a lug nut. It's that big red thing in the center, and hidden behind/inside the wheel there are several locating dowels that lock the wheel to the hub. They're just like the studs on any other car, but without the threads and lug nuts.
The brakes, on the other hand are idiotic and totally impractical. If this were an open-wheel car the design would have some interesting potential, but ask yourself this, how do you get the wheel off?
Centerlock wheels are great for changing wheels/tires quickly, but they're just asinine when you have to spend half an hour tearing down your car to take a wheel off. When i first heard "motorcycle style brakes" I got all excited about floating rotors, and then I see that ridiculous BS. I hate Scion.
