oem locking lug nuts missing + flat tire = sad weekend

I got a nasty flat tire on Saturday morning. I made it to a gas station. I was getting ready to change the tire and noticed the lug locks. damn! I think the locks are suppose to be in the trunk with the rest of the tire changing gear. My car is '07 G35S 1 1/2yrs old. Dealer closed by the time I got a hold of them. My car is sitting at the gas station as we speak because I didn't want it towed to the dealer which is located 1hr away. I realize I am asking for trouble. I am stuck between a rock and hard place.

My question is, with a picture I took (with iphone) of the lock will the dealer give me the key? Think they will try to charge me?

It would probably be cheaper to have the guy remove the lock there and buy new locks.

Think about it. If you send them a picture and they send you a lock key, alot of us would be missing wheels in the morning.

The wheel locks should be in your glove compartment. Thats where mine and every other Infiniti I've ever seen.

LOL, yeah dumb idea thinking I could borrow a key.

I had it towed to dealer. They are replacing the wheel locks. I'm certain I never got any and ALL of my work has been done at dealership. I know where the locks should have been. I searched my entire garage to be thorough.

Now I need to decide of tire to purchase. $250 for either Eagle F1 all-season or $250 for Bridgeston all-season or $150 for generic.

Any suggestions? Its for the rear 18" 245 45.
