I work for a nissan dealership as a salesman. If you want to get the wheel locks off and do not have the specified wheel lock key, just go to the infiniti dealership and ask them to take it off for you. Usually they wont charge you for that maybe at most 30 bucks. If you have OEM you dont have anything to worry about cuz they got the master key for the wheel locks which should be nissan brand. This happened to me recently bec i just got new rims for my G35X and lost the key lock and they did it for me for free.

did you buy the wheel locks your self or where they already on the car when you bought it. if you bought them then theres a paper that you fill out and sent to the company and if you lose it they can send you a new key. otherwise you can go to the dealer and they can take it off, that what i had to do when i got my car cause i couldn't fine the key, but they charges me $50 to take 2 off.

I'd advise that you put sonr rags or somthing around your rim where you are swinging the hammer so you dont miss and damage your wheel. Good luch.

It cost me $20 for taking it off and $30 for the new set.

Living life thru chemistry..........or did you look in
the glovebox for the key?

I went to the dealer, and they told me I could order locks by quoting the number on the package that came with my original locks. Since I couldn't find the package and didn't want to wait a week for the new locks to come in, I just had them remove the locks from my car with a master, and bought new ones.
I wont lose thes new ones!

Either take the care to a tireshop, they have lug nut extractors, or buy one..
The pound it in and impact it out. I think sears might carry them too.
