There are several threads here that cover this. Gorilla makes ones that fit, but not properly. Someone even posted some photos. I've bought ones based on part No's other members have posted. Bad idea. Bottom line, our OEM lug nuts and the Nissan security locks have an interesting shape. If you hold one and examine the profile, you might see what's missing in other nuts with matching thread & depth.

I haven't found a security nut yet that is as good a fit as the ones from Nissan. Which sucks, because companies like Gorilla make some fantastic theft-deterrent products. We need an expert to definitely say that it's OK to put nuts that aren't a good match on our rims, that there's no significant risk of wheel damage or failure.
