They’re completely decorative. They’re just aluminized plastic; they’re friction-fit over the lug nuts. (They won’t gouge up your car if you get sideswiped; the catastrophic damage your car receives in that case will come from other causes.)
It’s so you can easily see if a wheel nut has moved and needs to be tightened up. The spike is just a visual indicator of the nut position.
They are a signal to the lot lizards that this driver is lacking a penis, so move on. The same as those chrome testicles that people put on their Ram 1500 pickup dangling off the trailer hitch.
