Default 2 wheel locks on one wheel a problem?

i currently have two wheel locks and 2 regular lug nuts per rim on my car and mcgard said they dont recommend that because the mcgard keylocks are harder then normal lug nuts which makes it more brittle and lug nuts are more softer making it more durable. so now im scared about using my 2 lug nuts and 2 wheel locks per rim setup. what do you guys think about it? do you think i should worry about it?

umm, as long as it holds the wheel on i'd say you're fine man, i don't see why that'd be a problem

there would be a problem if someone tried to jack your rims.

i dont know why it would be a problem either but i guess they are just trying to protect themselves because they only tested the wheels with one lock per rim.

If there is a chance of the wheel lock breaking off while you are driving they shouldn't even be selling them.

their shouldn't be a problem unless you lose/misplace the key.
