I had one of my locking lugs break just like this. Tires were being replaced by an installer that I've known and trusted for 20 yrs. I called to check on the progress and was told that one nut had broken and there was another that had a slight rust ring @ the top 3rd of its shaft (looks exaclty like the broken one in the photo). Drove to the Nissan dealer in Greenville for replacements and was given a set that was shouldered (bell-shaped flange). These were $55 and the service manager tried to deny that the factory ones are defective. What a piece of work this woman is. At least the defective ones are replaced w/ the correct ones now. I'd hate to have to deal w/ this on the side of the road.
