Where to buy factory wheel lock key?

It always sat in my glove box, went to look in there and the key wasn't there anymore. Where can I buy the factory wheel lock key? I called my Infiniti dealer and they said that's not possible and I would have to pay a whole new set. Autozone sells Dorman lock set for $12. Anyone using those?

Upgrade to an aftermarket set of wheel locks. Next time you're at the dealer for a tire rotation have them switch out the factory locks with your new ones.

If you still have original package wheel lock set came in a number is on package. OEM wheel locks are made by McGard. and dealer installed. I was quoted about $25.00 for just a new key 6 years ago.

You be better off purchasing a new set and going to a Tire/Rim dealer to have wheel locks removed.

I have removed wheel locks with a 12 point deep well socket. Find socket close to outside diameter of wheel lock and use a 4# hammer (Thor) to tap socket firmly on wheel lock and remove with breaker bar/ratchet.

Replace your factory locks with these. They are impossible to hammer off and someone would have to have the exact same key you do out of several hundred possible keys to get them off.

These are the locks I was thinking of.

Anyways, the dealer keeps a spare key for the stock wheel locks, they just won't sell it to you individually. That's why I said to have them switched out when you're there.

Tire rotation? The dealership may charge you for tire rotation but that's not something we do, kinda like antenna service.
Wheel locks, either get the ones Tim suggested or most tire/wheels shops will have a set that will work. They may charge you extra $$ for removing the existing locks if they don't know the secret to removing them....Gary

I lost my key about 3 months ago.. and bought a new key from them.. there's only 4~5 different keys for nissans, so there a chance my will fit.. haha..

That's the lock, and I prefer having factory locks that way If I lose them again I can just go the dealer and have them removed or they can take them off when they do a service
