Mine has those clover leaf looking ones...no idea what they are. After I bought the firebird, I noticed them once I got home. Was going to take the front wheels off, had the impact gun all ready, walk up to it, and **** a lock.... Bashy Bashy

And the only key I can find is one in a kit for $25...boo.

I've had luck with a cheap socket a bit smaller pounded on.

I had Les Schwab break mine off and replace them with regular lug nuts.
