"Locking" lug nut set?

"Locking" lug nut set?
So I just got these locking lug nuts from Mustangtuning.com, but I was wondering if they'll really do what they're supposed to (as far as anti-theft goes)?
My stock wheels had a real "key" that unlocked a very oddly shaped lug nut. The key that comes with this set just converts the 1/2" into 15mm. Do you think the wheels will be safe with this set?

If they utilize a unique key then you should be fine, how do you know they will fit??? I saw no sizes on there anywhere.... I'm also looking into getting a set since I will be moving to Orlando in the next 2 months....

wheel locks have always sounded good as ive been through many sets of wheels.
from personal experience i have always had problems with lugs that use a special key damn keys always break sooner or later
Stay away from anything with the gorilla brand on it!!!
my 04 GT came with mcgaurd wheel locs on it and a few weeks ago the key broke. i finally broke down and bought a socket from matco that has spiral teeth in it to get the damn lugs off my cars. dont wanna be stuck with a flat anywhere.

I assumed they would fit (and they do) because I ordered the lug nuts and the rims from Mustangtuning.com
I'm not worried about wheel theft right now (I live in the midwest), but when I move down south for the Air Force, I'll be a little more concerned.
