I've never seen these on wheels before.....advice?

My CLS came with Motegi wheels, but the bolts on them are "different" from typical lug nuts. I asked my bro and he's never seen them before either. So I posted these pics on here looking for any advice on how to take them off, thanks.

Shitty wheels = shitty aftermarket lugs. Find the right size hex key remove and just throw them away

it's just a "lock" that needs a special key...but not even that special as thoiboi pointed out, get hex or allen key that size and take them off

Perfect, thanks justnspace. Thoboi why do you always have to be so negative. I like Motegi wheels and just got a set of AR's. I know they're not in the greatest condition. But it's what came with the car.

You can like whatever you want, that's your prerogative, I'm just stating facts.

That's not a "fact".... It's an opinion. you don't like Motegi wheels, other people do. Therefore it's an opinion.

Other people liking something doesn't make it not shitty. Look at kanye.

Just because you like shitty things doesn't make you right.

I think it's a pretty standard fact that motegi doesn't make a high quality wheel (aka "shitty").
thinking they're pretty is an opinion though.

Reel it in there buddy.. Just because he was trash-talking your Youtube channel, doesn't mean you can return the favor here..

I get hot quick. It's not a good idea to trash talk online. Some ppl have the ability, means and the will to track ppl down and bring an interstate beat down.

Those are "tuner lug nuts". They're for tuners. You'll need a tuner key to get them off.

It's a hex key. You stick it in the hole and crank away (lefty-losey) to get them off.
