i think they are a different size from stock. compared to your stock lug nuts they are a lot lighter, but lug nuts aren't that heavy to begin with. there gona look nice with your new rims. the thing about rim locks is that studies have shown that they only buy you a couple of seconds before the vandal steals your rims. they aren't hard to take off and basically just kind of scare the vandal out of wasting more time to steal your rims.

they are locks, the top four lug nuts pictured can't be taken off with just any size socket. they have a special groove and the angles of each sides are different, which is why it comes with a special socket (silver) which is pictured.

I remember reading another post on the forums where they compared the weight of the new locking lugs and the crap you have to carry to take them off, and it turned out to actually be more weight with them. 
But, don't do it for weight. Do it for quality and security.

I have the same exact Volk lug nuts on my wheels. I have the GT-7, so they fit perfectly kbomb.
Here are some pros and cons to these lug nuts:
Pros:
-lightweight
-discreet
-perfect for ray's wheels
Cons:
-chips after a few times taking them on and off, have a black sharpie handy
-volk only has 4 different key lock combos, i actually know 2 other people in irvine that has the same keys... i guess it would be good if i lost my key lock and need to borrow theirs.
If you plan on buying those, and paranoid of people stealing your wheels... try to buy another set of locks to be on the safe side too.

what are you torquing the Volk lugs to?
they're made of a softer material so if you torque to stock lug nut specs of 80-85 thats too high.
i usually torque mine to 75... i've had no issues after several track/drift events...

I got the torqoise extended volk lugs, they are about a 1/3 lighter then stock, rough guessitimation, and they really stand out! I love them and I think are worth the extra money!
