From the Bavarian Autosport Ad. "Our own wheel locks give you peace of mind without sacrificing your car's looks, thanks to a 17mm cap that matches original lugs. Precision machined from high-tension strength steel. Bavarian Autosport exclusive. Sold in sets of 4."
They appear to do their job very well. When I initially installed them I kind of expected one of the fake plastic cap heads to crack and fall off by now. Well, I've had them for over a year now and those plastic caps are doing just fine. I consider them a well spent $40 insurance policy.
Update: It took over three years, but one of the plastic caps finally disappeared. I contacted Bavarian Autosport and they sent me four new caps without asking any questions.
