I have been wondering the same thing.

Mine are lockable in the normal sense but they do require a special socket. Got them when I had Discount Tire install my wheels and tires.

I have “tuner” style lug nuts similar to the above pic. They require a special splined socket to remove. I did not add individual locking lug nuts to my installation, though it would theoretically make things even more “slightly” secure. I say that because most locking lug nuts, and even these splined lug nuts, can be defeated easily (such as hammering a socket on to them) and thieves know it. Moreover, tire shops know it because they often have to deal with removing a wheel and the vehicle owner lost the locking lug nut key.

Yeah. I have a set of bolt extractors for various things and have used them in the past to get locking lugs off people's vehicles when I was a mechanic. Very easy to use and not that expensive.
