This is a good post for any type of vehicle owner. Just to add one of my own experiences with my everyday vehicle. I have an LR Discovery that came with security nuts on the alloy wheels. I suffered wheel vib and after three attempts to have them balanced (with no cure !) took a closer look. I took off the nuts and weighed the security nut in comparison to four remaining standard nuts - it was 2x as heavy. So replaced the security nut with a standard nut...end of problem.
