Good call. Well, I had the dealer install the new rims on the car before I picked it up. Drove the car away and then later in the afternoon I noticed no locks on the wheels, so I called the dealer and he checked with their service department and they said the locks that came off the stock wheels can't fit back on. I would have thought it was the bolts coming through the wheels that are the deciding factor and since they're the same ones... on top of the fact that both wheels are OEM Nissan Rays... Planning to go back to the dealer today and get this sorted out.

Yes, Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60, but no snow here either, so your guess is as good as mine.

Thanx again for all the good wishes guys.

If the locking lug nut doesn't fit, then none of the lug nuts should fit.
Is there a difference in the lug seat between the two rims? (flat vs. conical?)

my concern?!?! WHY. Did you have to ASK the dealership about it-they should have informed you of the issue before you ever left. Wth?!
