How about NO wheel lock key?

My car had been used by the original dealer at auto shows, so they had zooted it up with all the Nissan aftermarket parts, including the wheel locks. It wasn't until after I'd had it for awhile that my son noticed that it had wheel locks. Tearing the car apart....no removal socket, probably sitting in a saleman's desk drawer at the original dealership. Seems like it would be easy to just order a replacement, doesn't it? They matched my locks to their master key set, but apparently ordering the replacement is impossible. The service manager finally tried to talk me out of the locks altogether and replace the them with standard lug nuts. I told him I'd be happy to sell them to him for the $50 they tacked onto the sticker, he decided it would be cheaper for them to pay dealer cost for a whole new set. And thanks to this site, I was able to make sure they weren't the 350Z locks.
