Yeah those will work. But, I'm not a fan of outside keyed surfaces like those because you can take a standard 12 sided socket and remove them without the key. I did it on my mustang and when I realized how easy it was I bought a set of lug nuts that had the squigly face on the front. Like the OEM one's. The squigly face doesn't allow anything but the special cut key to take them off, and the outer shell is actuall suppose to spin preventing even sockets or pliers from being used.
Just a heads up, but they do look sharp and if they ALL use the key to go on/off, then i think you will be alright as that would take a bunch of time compared to if there are just 4 to remove.

I like em but kinda what DirtyDog says with that type of outer surface and the fact you gotta torque them down to 135 Ft/Lb Would the outer edges stay black for long or wear down easy? But for that price for a whole set you may have a good deal.
When you guys talk about the ones with a squiggly face, do you mean the round ones that you have to insert a "key" into? Because those aren't completely tamper proof either...depending on the type of rims you have. If they stick up enough you can get a hold of them with some vice grips and get them off. I had to do that on my old toyota because I had one that the key insert was stipped on. But if they fit into the rim, I would think they would be more secure.
