The most common Ford locking wheel nuts you could find are spline drive nuts and heptagon nuts. Spline drive locking wheel nuts are designed with many narrow grooves on the head and even down the sides. A special key socket can fit over the grooves and make it easy to install/remove these locking wheel nuts. All the splines aren’t the same pattern. Besides, the narrow spline shape will fit more aftermarket wheels which are made with small lug holes.
As the name states, the Heptagon Ford locking wheel nuts have unique Heptagon (7-side) shape heads, which make it hard to be stolen due to the irregular shape. This means they require a special 7-side socket adapter to remove the nuts. The 7-side keys are available in various inside diameter sizes. Even though the thieves have 7-side socket adapters, it is difficult for them to find the correct one to fit.
