Wheel locks for '07 G35x

My dealer sold me a set of locking wheel nuts for my G35x and they are different from the nuts on the car now. I tried a search but didn't see what I was looking for. Can anybody tell me if you can buy the proper locks?

The locking nut they sold me is on the right, stock nut is on the left.

Doesn't look right, it's missing the sholder and washer that seats against the flat surface in the wheel. Personally I would not use them as the entire wheel load will be taken by the tapered end.

The locks sold to me by my dealer looked identical to the stock lug, including the washer, except that they have a round barrel. The key fits over the barrel and has a wavy circular ridge that mates with a matching receptacle in the lug. They came in a package with the Nissan logo, but are actually made by McGard.

Hope this helps.

They gave you the wrong ones. These are the locks they gave me for my 07X.

It does help, thanks. My dealer's parts guy said that, according to their parts database, the ones they supplied were the "only ones listed" and I was welcome to return them. No comment as to when I might expect to have access to the correct parts.

Of course, I didn't use them since the tapered cone would extrude the aluminium onto the wheel studs so I'm just going without right now. We'll see if there's any update at the dealer now.

Cheers,
AD

The wheel locks for the 2007 Sedan are different than previous G35 sedans and coupes. I had to wait a few weeks until the dealer could order the right ones for me.

Thanks. I don't suppose you have the part number so I can beat the parts guy over the head with it, do you?

I think I was also sold the wrong wheel locks, they look similar to the pic above.

The package and lettering is similar to GEE35X's package, but the part number on the back says 999H1-A7003.

There's also numbers on the bottom of the box, not sure which ones are the actual parts number. Can you provide, or take a pic?

Those are part of the lock key ID number.

my dealer sold and installed the wrong wheel locks on my vehicle apparently. I thought it looked a bit odd.
