Wheel lock??

Well took my car in today to get the brakes resurfaced and left for about two hours. When I got back they had not done a single thing so I got to thinking.hmmm.. When I walked up, the manager came up to me and told me that they broke the wheel lock key while trying to take the wheel off. It broke in the inside where the fitted shape rises off the surface to fit into the lock nut.
So now I have to find the same key so I can get these wheels off. I have no idea where or how to find the same key for it. Idk if its the oem key or not. I bought the car used.

Here is a picture for you to see the pattern.

take the car to your infiniti or nissan dealer,
tell them broke key somehow not you but somethin...
they use their master key, and put new bolts on, none key lug hopefully,
better yet bring your own if they feel like charging you money,

Is there a brand name etched on the side of that lock?

That looks like a factory OEM wheel lock. Factory wheel locks are McGards locks.

No, the dealership does not have a master key. The seller should have given you a code that came inside the wheel lock package. You'll have to go to discount tire or similar to have them spin your wheel locks off.

wrongo don't know what you're talking about,
go to infiniti (nissan if none) and they will take it off in five minutes,
put non key lugs on for ya, some will make money off ya if you don't have warranty or bring your own lugs, some won't - depend on vip status,

DOMO
