you got wheel locks man. get the key for it.

If you got your new, your dealer should have given it to you along with the keys and what not.

Usually its in one of the 2 glove boxes or the center console.

Did you have wheel locks on your car? If you did, there is a "key" that is needed to unbolt one of the lugs. Do you know where that key is? If they aren't "special" wheel locks, then you could just pick up a socket that is slightly larger than the lock lug, hammer it on there and then twist the lug off. That's apparently how some thieves get past wheel locks.

Check the hidden cubby behind the seat maybe?

I bought new and mine came in a white plastic bag. Also check the glove compartment.

They aren't specific to each individual car right? Could I get the wheel locks from another z?

Each key is different. It's like a house key. Nobody should have your set of keys.

Try the trunk where the spare is, mine was located there.

That I'm not sure, but I wouldn't put it passed Nissan to do something like that.


Back in the day when I bought wheels for one of my cars from Discount, I bought the "Gorilla Locks" or whatever.

Trouble is, is all of them were the same. Every Discount sold them, nothing was different.

Luckily Discount became aware of this after my wheels were stolen. Full replacement. :D

tell them to just kill the locks. it's not terribly difficult to remove them without the keys.
get a new set of mcguards.

i dont even use locks on my cars. just a pita.

Its usually attached to the torque breaker wrench!
