I know some old dodges used them. the rationale was the same as the one
for wire wheel knock-offs--to tighten them while driving instead of
loosening them. you gotta figure that's less of a probability with the
smaller mass of the nuts, the lack of protruding 'ears' or even large
flats for centrefugal (centrepedal?) force and the fact that they're off
the centerline, but there you have it...

mustang manual. dick.
