As Drew said, the top lug that's not in focus / cropped is a locking nut. I'm not sure it's possible to buy a set of 20 R40 Revos that don't have locks. But it's still not that difficult to steal someone's wheels. The car isn't driven that much anymore so if it's not in the garage chances are good it's within sight or in a public enough place I'm not worried. And if they did get stolen it's not that big a deal, current rims are far cheaper than anything that's been on the car since 2009 and much easier to replace. There's probably a much better chance of someone stealing the lugs, lol.

If someone is determined enough they probably won't let anything stop them from getting your wheels

I'm seriously surprised I never got any of my **** stolen since I never used locks

That's how my Work lug nuts are...all 17mm with no lock but and I feel perfectly fine. I've learned wheel locks or not, if someone really wants your items they'll get them no matter what.

yea i figured. the lock nut looks neo as well? I recently bought a set of varrstoen neos for my factory 19s and realized I was loosing security. I actually lost the lock the same day I put them on; left it on one of the wheels n drove off. Tried the 17 socket and it worked. When I dont park in the garage, I damn near park my front passenger wheel into my neighboors fence. Maybe stop them or at least they wont get all 4.

The lock is neo as well. Wouldn't make sense to have a mismatched lug if you're spending that much on a set.

I think lock nuts are easier to get off than normal lugs anyway

Probably not. Unless those offsets are negative it's going to look pretty weak (assuming coupe, but probably not that hot on a sedan either).

Rear won't be terrible, won't quite be flush but could be a lot worse. Could be the front, which will be pretty sunken (equivalent to 9.5 +33, roughly). You'll want a large spacer to make it look half decent but running spacers on a new set of wheels makes little sense when you could shop for other wheels that fit correctly.

Browse www.rimtuck.com for examples of different sizes.

Also having a 2" difference in front and rear wheels is not very common...better to stick with less of a gap
