Factory Wheel Locks

I have a 2004 BO G35 5at with 18 inch sports package wheels. Do wheel locks come standard from the factory? I'm looking at my lug nuts right now and it looks like there a wheel lock on there. If so, I was never given keys. Any help? Thank you.

You can tell if you have a wheel lock by the face of the lug, is there some weird looking design on one of them? If so, you have a wheel lock. If you purchased your car from a private party, they should have the key. Otherwise, most dealerships have universal keys that can take it off for you.

Found the answer just right now...looked in spare tire compartment...found the lock there.

Bought this car brand new from Santa Monica Infiniti...they never mentioned anything about wheel locks (probably would of charged me) on docs nor verbally...maybe they just threw it in.

Thanks.

They probably charged you for it. Check the window sticker under dealer upgrades.

I bought wheel locks, but on 2nd thought, I kinda don't want them. If my oem wheels get stolen, I get get the money from the insurance company and buy aftermarkets!

I stopped using wheel locks myself. I don't park the car anywhere other than the
dealer, gas station, at meets, etc. so no real need any more. just a hassle to
dig out the key from the trunk anyway each time I want to swap wheels.
