ahh, now I get it

thanks for explaining.

I hope you enjoy your new button. I put wheel locks on my car today. No sleeper status just yet, but I can feel safer taking it to more places. I'd hate to come out of some place and find my car on blocks.

Haha no problem! Wheel locks are great, but are they from the GTR?

Surprised they didn't come with locking lugs from the factory... seems a bit odd.

To make a long story short, the general manager of the Cowles in Nissan drove my car home every day. They somehow lost the key for wheel locks.

After waiting two months for them to order me a new key, I just had them take the wheel locks off and I bought my own ($66 dollars). Some things worked out great with the dealership, that just didnt. My salesman also doesn't work there anymore. I dont know if he had something to do with it. (or if I drove him crazy

)

Anyway, now I am happy... my wheels are locked!

For anyone that wants to buy wheel locks, make sure you get the RIGHT ONES! I discovered on this web site that the dealerships were installing the wheel locks for the 350z. After several incidents, they came to find out that there are special wheel locks for the 370z (it has a washer, stronger material, etc).

When I got my Z it came with the 350Z locking lug nuts.
