dont bother with the nissan/mcguard wheel locks. FYI, they sell them at autozone/kragen for cheap. id buy these:

Amazon.com: Gorilla Automotive 63621 Standard Mag Guard Locks (12mm x 1.25 Thread Size) - Pack of 4: Automotive

make sure it is the 12mm x 1.25 one. these are an exact fit for our cars and have a much better design than the mcguard locks with a spinning cover over the lock.

i'm not too worried about theft honestly, the car lives in a garage, just want to have a set of OEM locks on it just incase.

no worries..just wanted to give ya an alternative to mcguard locks (they usually run about 30-40bucks) vs the gorilla's for 15

What's so good about the spinning cover?

our OEM style, ie mcguard wheel locks can be removed relatively easily. you can buy a 5 dollar bolt extractor socket, hammer it onto the wheel lock and remove the lock w/o destroying it. the spinning collar with the gorilla locks prevents this.
