I don't have these lug nuts, but I can answer your second question. To tighten them, you just use a long socket, hehe .

sockets don't come with lug nuts. I've never seen a lug nut come with a socket.

This is what you need. This one is designed for an impact gun, but you can still use it with a torque wrench.

If you do get lug nuts, you know that you should torque your wheels down to spec right?

call and ask them if it comes with a socket.

Thats the key for the lock Every set of wheel locks comes with one of those.
The only ones I've ever seen that come with a hexagonal socket are Zenkis, all it was was a 19mm socket that fit on the nut with the correct depth. It was really unnecessary because lugnuts have a shoulder on them to stop the socket anyways, so a $5 Craftsman deep socket will do the trick for any lugnut.
And I wouldn't be torquing aluminum or magnesium lugnuts onto aluminum wheels to spec. I'd be doing 72-75 ft-lbs.

Why not to spec? you know they have special sockets you can buy which protects the lug nuts.

Because you can deform the lugnut and the seat if you overdo it.
Aluminum is much softer than a steel. It doesn't take as much to snug up an aluminum to aluminum interface as it does to do a steel lug on a steelie or a steel nut on an aluminum wheel. Has nothing to do with the socket end, it has to do with the business end of the nut.
