look at your lug bolts, they are a 2-piece design. with a little applied heat and lubricant you can removed the cap leaving a splined shaft. if you only remove your wheels once a year or so you could do this, more than once a year and you run the risk of stripping the shaft.

Buy a set of 4 locking nuts and 4 studs, one for each wheel. Use Red LockTite on the studs to hub.
