That's really assuring to know.
It will fit any 370z and likely many other Nissans. Wheel locks are not individual just designed so that somebody with standard tools can not take them off.

I just so happened I saw this while I was at work today and did some checking before I left. The factory wheels for the 40th Anniversary are $703 apiece list price with no TPMS sensors. Nissan's price on the factory Bridgestones is $1,500 exactly for a set. There are about ten of the front wheels available in the country, and a dozen or so rear wheels, so your local dealer should be able to have them within a few days.

If insurance will cut you a check, I'd say go aftermarket. You could get a nice set of aftermarket wheels and a set of tires better than stock for that money. It's your car though, and I could totally understand sticking with the factory wheels for a special edition. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Nissan has 20-25 different keys for the wheel locks. It's not like one standard tool will do it, but there is a decent chance you could find somebody pretty easily with the same key pattern.

There's actually right around 15 different wheel locks that Nissan uses for the 370... according to the dealer, anyway.

Just for reference.
