A system (20) for mounting vehicle wheels (22) is disclosed in which at least one lock nut (26) secures the wheel upon lug bolts (31) to prevent theft. The dimensions of the lock nut are selected such that a lock nut tool (30) may also tighten and remove polygonal nuts that are used to secure the same wheel to the lug bolts. With this invention, a vehicle owner or a vehicle assembly line is not required to have two distinct type of tools, and the assembly line is not constrained to having the lock nut tightened at a particular lock nut tightening station.
