I’ve seen them on cars in the past, but this is the first time I was able to get a picture. It was on both front wheels on a Ford Flex. What the blank is it?

I suspect it’s to prevent wheel theft.

By making the wheel too hideous to steal? Why only on the fronts? Why not just use locking lugs?

They are attachment points for tire chain anchors.

This makes sense... Oregon loves to let people ruin the roads with chains.

It looks like those things they put on your wheels when they do an alignment.

Its actually a Roman Ford Flex and that is where the scythes attach to the hub. Unfortunately they aren’t street legal so they make them quick release.

They’re spike spiders anchor point. Fancy tire chains.
