locking nuts?

I bought my car used about 3 weeks ago. I am planning on getting new tires and rims but i noticed today that every wheel has a different nut that i am guessing to be a locking nut. I have a GT and is this standard b/c they already done tire work at the dealership. Is this universal and or did the previous owner add these.

it should be the special lock. the key should be in the trunk tool compartment. unless the previous owner did something else with it.

Welcome to the club. If you can't find it ask the dealer to remove it or buy a new locking key for the wheel.

Mine was in the glove compartment, and I never took it out of there. Be careful with it, because I stripped my key the last time I put em on. I think mazda has all the keys, and I'm debating what to do, I'll probly just have them take them off and get regular lugs.
