Broken wheel stud and lug nut.

I just got off the phone and parts dept. is telling me part #999h1-a7009 is supposed to the be wheel locks for my 370Z. However, a quick google search shows that the wheels locks are for 370Z Grand Touring/Track models and Frontier LE. So I told him to look up part #999W2-JT000 and #999W2-Z3409 which is supposedly the correct wheel locks for the 370Z and he told me that it is nonexistent in their bench stock.

So I'm kind of confused on what I'm supposed to do now since they already charged me $169 for wheel locks that they never installed in the first place. I asked him several times if he's 100% sure whether the wheel locks he told me are correct and he kept insisting that is the right part #. I highly doubt the dealership will refund me the money either so should I just wait a couple of months until the dealership gets a clue?

First of all, thanks everyone for keeping this thread alive. If it wasn't for this thread, I would probably never looked at this issue.

Part no. 999H1-A7009 is the wrong part for this car! That's what my dealer installed on my car. These lug nuts are so bad, it took 0 effort to take them off my car!!! They don't even thread all the way on the bolt.

I installed the new locking nuts and finally I could actually tighten them on the bolt.

If your dealer gave you a FREE set of locking nuts, please go outside and inspect them. I am including some pictures so that you can understand better.

Thanks everyone and I can finally drift sideways without worrying about my lugs exploding!

Thanks AK, those look much better! Essentially you've been driving around with only 4 nuts on each wheel all this time, kind of scary.
