Are these the right wheel locks?
 
I did a search and found the 999W2-JT000 to be the right ones, but my dealership says the 99998-JT000 are the right ones. Are these the same? Maybe it's the Canadian version. Input please.

i can check my invoice when i get home for the actual part number.

i actually picked mine up at an Infiniti dealership as the local Nissan dealers only had 350Z locks on hand. Infiniti has been using the new style for longer.

is there a benefit to having wheel locks other than not getting your rays stolen?

i was thinking about it and i dont think so but im not really sure, would this perhaps help out with making sure the tires dont fly off while going through the autox?

again i dont think it would but i would like confirmation of my assumption so dont flame me!

it will take the thief longer to steal the rim ^^

or if there were two 370Zs parked next to each other. One with and one without wheel locks, thief will approach the one without ;).

nogoodname 12-23-2009 08:38 PM

true... i thought all dealers installed these on.... that's totally bogus if they do not...
all G's and Z's have the locks already put on over here... dealers that cheap over there???

Warning: Dealers do NOT install wheel locks as a default. Why? Good question. They weren't installed on my Z when I picked it up, and this happened: http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...olen-help.html

However, I've been back to the showroom floor of the dealership where I picked up my baby, and I've seen some Z's with wheel locks. I guess the dealers just play "Rock, paper, scissors" to decide which Z's gets them and which ones don't. My Z just happened to lose the game. :shakes head:

nogoodname 12-23-2009 09:04 PM

dealers put them on over here without evening asking... it's like it's procedure here....

NXTAZEE 12-24-2009 12:05 AM

It looks like the right ones from the pics, so I guess I'm good. Thanks guy's. Merry X-mas.

something other than the rebranded McGards
 
Does anyone have part No's for alternate manufacturer's wheel locks that are compatible with the 19" Rays? (Flat Washer Style Wheel Lock). Maybe Gorilla...

I've been going through as many threads about wheel locks as I can find, (both here and on a G37 forum). It seems like these 12 x 1.25 hybrid mag & washer w/ the tapered (gorilla calls 'acorn') tips and the correct diameter shaft are difficult to find in a lock from anyone other than the Nissan-rebranded-McGards. And too many people have said those are too easy to take off, so I'm looking to add another layer of protection.

And yes, any experienced wheel thief can etc. etc. :icon14:

Just looking for another layer of protection is all.

Many thanks

they gave me 999w1-al000 will these work?

Sorry to bring this thread from the dead. But I had a pair of wheel locks for my 350Z I never used brand new in package. I ended up opening them and putting them on the 370Z. They fit fine, whats the downfall or they not compatible?
