OP said that the company he got them from have UNIQUE keys? I would be interested in this if they are infact unique (only 1 of that specific key). From what I've seen usually they have the same key for certain brands..

I actually got mine for free came with the purchase of my BBS rims from my friend F1 Motorsport

Well, that 'price' was certainly OK, but the advice is applicable to anyone else who'd like to have a little extra protection in the form of M-B spec McGards for under 30 bucks. It just seems like a no-brainer to me at that price, stock wheels or not.

Mmmm, I own three torque wrenches so my advice is to buy one. A cheap Sears wrench will cost you $20-25. You can probably afford it.

Any car owner who does some work on their rides should have one (and have it re-calibrated periodically).

Borrow one or pay a tire shop/gas station with the proper equip to install them. Better yet, forget the security locks and chance it.
