Red face Where to buy G37 Coupe OEM Lug Nuts?

Seems like a dumb question but -- where can I get G37 Coupe OEM lugs for a set of G37 S wheels I just purchased? I called my local dealership and they wanted $10/lug

I found this site, but this also seems pretty pricey.
http://www.infinitiwholesale.com/pro...99w2jt000g.htm

^ that'd be around $200 for 4 sets...

Also, I purchased my car with aftermarket wheels which I assume came with aftermarket lugs and a wheel lock for each wheel. My question is - can I just buy 16 OEM lugs and use the wheel locks my car came with or do I need to buy 4 new wheel locks as well? Or should I just buy 20 OEM lugs?

Thanks.

I would head over to my g37 and post up in the classifieds, I'm sure you can find plenty of people selling their oem lugs after they went to aftermarket. Should be able to get them very cheap as well since there is practically no use for them other than paper weights...

Lol, well, I've had a spline key set from autozone for a good minute & the set's pretty solid & it's only like $30 iirc & I hear that you want to run G37 19s... they'd work perfect for those wheels as well.

If OEM is a must do as aforementioned, someone should hv a set & if u cant find any & still want OEM try this guys...

www.infinitipartsusa.com

They usually hv the lowest prices for OEM stuff hands down.

GL.

I don't recommend those lugs if you live where it snows. I had them for about 2 years and eventually the chrome flakes off and they start to rust/corrode, which makes it very difficult to get the spline socket onto them. It wasn't from salt because they don't use that up here very much at all. I ended up buying a set of gunmetal Leggdura lugs instead. I wanted something that wouldn't corrode.

Are these safe to put on OEM G37 Wheels? Every thread I've read regarding OEM wheels say, OEM wheels = OEM lug nuts.

You should get lugs that match the shape of the oem wheels.

I don't know about the G37 wheels. but these fit my OEM G35 wheels just fine (Coupe 18 and Sedan 17).

Many OEM lugs and wheels do not have a tapered "tip", so many aftermarket lugs don't fit on them, and many aftermarket wheels can't use OEM lugs. Nissan OEM wheels and lugs are tapered, so most aftermarket lugs fit just fine. I probably have the exact terminology wrong, but I know I've read that here somewhere, and it's true for the G35 wheels. I doubt they changed that with the G37's. Obviously do some searching to find out before you buy, but I'm pretty sure on this.

Having read all the post on this thread the best idea is to visit G37 section and look for anyone selling their OE wheel lugs, cost w/b minimul. No you won't need new locks....

Do you have the el cheapo ones from Autozone? Or the nicer Mutegi's? My cheapos are what went bad, and it's more from water than being cold (although freeze/thaw probably didn't help). Even if snow got on my wheels, the heat from driving/braking would melt it and expose the lugs to water. I know Texas is drier than us up here, but have you seen any corrosion starting on yours? I don't think it would take much to get under the chroming to the bare metal on the Autozones. If I would have waited much longer, I'm not sure I could've even gotten the socket on them.

I just realized you might not have either one. If so, just ignore this.
