They were all tightened down to 85lbs.ft

If you are using only aftermarket wheels, they will work fine.
Oh the outside diameter of the bevel is smaller on oem wheels?

$149 for lug nuts? I don't understand how lug nuts are so expensive.

Mine cost more. Materials are expensive. Fancy chrome plate is expensive. 2 piece design isn't as easy to build as one piece

To me, these seem like a "haha, got ya" for wheel thieves. They'll take the cover off then discover they need a key for the lock. Then they'll throw the covers somewhere and mar your wheels regardless... I don't see a benefit here.

Get the McGards as mentioned above, or the more expensive KICS r40.

At first glance I thought the aluminium cap had an internal hex that fit over the actual lug nut, I take it it's just round inside and it will spin.
