Broken wheel stud and lug nut.

I'm having the same issue...turns out the dealer in Atlanta where I flew to get the car installed the locks for the 350z. My local tire guy WHO I TRUST COMPLETELY tried to balance the tire and broke the first one he tried to take off. Then, he took the others off and they were full of rust. I called the local Nissan dealer this morning and was told that Nissan won't do anything about this since it wasn't factory installed and was an option and that the rust could have been caused by road conditions. GET REAL PEOPLE!! My car has just over 6k miles on it and had NEVER even been in the snow!

add me to the list. non sport 18" roadster wheels...

went to the dealer before i was pointed the direction of this thread. they ordered me a new set, but now im wondering if they ordered the wrong ones. im gonna see their attitude when i try to "fill them in" on this because i know for a fact they have no idea.

they felt like they were on there hand tight. one broke as i just started tightening it. noticed the hairline crack on the other before i installed. the two on the front are on, but now that i know they arnt really doing anything, i think ill stop back by Nissan on the way home to get even two more regular standard lugs.. which the first two they removed from a 370 in stock because they had no lugs in stock at all. ugh..

+1!!! Mine look like yours! where it's all rusted on the inside :/ not to mention, they had already broken one lug before I took the car home but didn't notice it missing until I started working on my wheels (I should've checked better

) So, 1 lock was missing, the other 3 broke as I was MANUALLY putting them back on... wtf?... I'm totally calling them out tomorrow...
