hi dean, forgot to mention on my last answer, that the lock nuts do keep the wheel on the car in the same way as the other wheel nuts. you must have every one in place to drive safely, if you need to get some, go to good scrappy for them. just make sure they are the correct ones for your car.
hope it helps
