I recently took my car to Nissan to check a leaky tire and they cracked the wheel lock on one of them. They couldnt get the rim off and had to drill it out and replace the stud. They covered it, and then said they werent the correct locks for the car... I didnt put the locks on though, another dealership must have when purchasing...

Ya there is a thread on here about correct wheel locks and incorrect wheel locks and how the incorrect locks would snap under stress.
