An interesting thing about the wheel lock
I found an interesting thing. I can rotate the top of all 4 wheel locks by hand, but if I use the wheel lock key, I cannot. Looks like the wheel locks are screwed tightly.
Is it part of security feature?
see the video.

Wheel locks
Yes, that's the whole idea. A lug wrench will not remove the bolt, but the key socket engages with it to enable removal.

BTW, do you know how much torque should I use to tight these lug bolts?
