The wheel looks fine, but there are a few marks on the fender. Nothing a buffer won't take care of. The worst part is that I purchased the car used, with about 3000 miles on it, from a Mitsubishi dealership here in Orange County. They got the car from an auction in Florida. The previous owner put aftermarket wheel locks on....AND I DON'T HAVE THE KEY. I'm super excited about how I'm going to get the wheels off.

A shop can remove the nut without your key. If you want to remove it yourself, there is a diy on how to remove nuts without a key on the 350z forum.

I must be retarded because I've been through the DIY section twice and haven't found that thread.
