You can't run a set of tuner lugs on GT-Cs?

Anyways, glad you finally got the mysteriously disappearing key back

yeah, they are incredibly small. There is only one specific lug that fits the GT-C's and if you purchase a set used, without the lugs you will spend weeks trying to find lugs that fit.

exactly... sometimes these anti-theft devices/features end up getting your car more ****ed up.

i have seen way too many broken/cut up dash boards from thieves that couldn't get the radio out.

The lugnut design is a shanked tuner style lugnut. Tuner meaning it takes a allen shapped key. This type of lugnut is a little more common in japan. My boyfriends old set of BBS wheels needed the same type of lugnuts. He bought his and the key from TWS down in Socal. He told me the only other wheels that are common that he knows of that ever used these lugnuts was the volk GT-C and the volk AV3.
