Again, thanks. The vehicle sales pitch included a spiel on the advantages of having these locks. It didn't mean anything to me (If I lived in Boston, maybe), but the later mention of not being reusable didn't ring true at all.

So- if the person who told me this (not being reusable lugs) was the same person who would be doing the work, should I reconsider, or discuss this with him (he's long-time local- I know him personally and feel committed).

Don't you just hate this type of situation?!? I do.
