Abstract: A wheel fastener and method of forming a wheel fastener is provided. The wheel fastener has a fastener body comprising a threaded portion and an upper portion opposite the threaded portion. A load-bearing surface of the fastener body is shaped to cooperate with a fastener seat. A cap is decoupled from the fastener body and has a coating covering a cap base material to define a decorative appearance surface. The cap is crimped to the upper portion at a crimp area to retain the cap on the fastener body and define a wrenching surface. The cap does not cover the load-bearing surface. The coating of the cap comprises applying a nickel strike layer and a black chrome passivation layer to define a black appearance surface.

Abstract: A security fastener assembly is provided with a cap having a standard tool bearing surface and an attachment portion formed opposite the tool bearing surface. A fastener body has a mating attachment portion formed at a first end along which the cap is secured and a keyed security feature formed adjacent the mating attachment portion. A second end of the fastener body has a threaded fastener portion for securing the fastener assembly to a vehicle. The threaded portion of the fastener body is installed with rotation in a first direction. Engaging the tool bearing surface of the cap and rotating in a second direction opposite the first direction does not rotate the threaded portion of the fastener body. The fastener body is removable with the keyed security feature.
