I have a set and use an impact, not to torque them though. No problems yet, although it's not every weekend.
Also, maybe you meant to post in Classifieds?

I recently bought these
http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...t/21-1058.html
but they won’t work for me.
They are intended to be very small diameter, so if a normal lug nut or socket would scratch up your wheels, these won't.
The issue I have is that I wanted them for my autocross wheels, which I remove/install with a cordless impact gun.
The key or socket for these is aluminum, and won’t stand up to using an impact. Must be tightened/loosened by hand. Not an issue if you only do it once every few months or so, but an issue for me when I do it every weekend.
Wish the Goodwin ad or the McGard site had mentioned that.

16 to a set, I bought 18, not used.
New was $69 plus $4 ea for two extra, so I paid $78 plus shipping.
Sell for $70 cash or paypal shipped within the metroplex, or grab at an autocross.

I emailed Goodwin and Brian answered and said do not use an impact to remove
that is my issue
I do hand torque to tighten
and yes, maybe the mods can move to classified if this is the wrong place
parts seems to be a mix of wanted, for sale, and info sharing
