Wheels Locks

Not sure what you guys mean by 'all the same'. They all have different key patterns, so it's not like a single wheel lock key will fit with all Nissan

Not sure what you guys mean by 'all the same'. They all have different key patterns, so it's not like a single wheel lock key will fit with all Nissan wheel locks. Oh, and they are in fact McGards. Having said that, I made the trip to the dealership and looked at the locks (which is how I know they're McGards) but I did NOT get them. Why? Because the parts guy just handed me a pack of the regular sized wheel locks that fit all Nissans. Here's the thing. I might be wrong on this, but I think the 370Z requires its own specific sized lock. I say this because when I brought my car home, I re-torqued all my lug nuts (I have trust issues with this kind of stuff), and pulled one of them off all the way just to have a look. The lug nuts are huge! Length-wise, that is. They seem to be a lot longer than normal lug nuts. So the regular 'fit all Nissans' size of wheel locks . . . I don't think they'll fit right. They seem too short. Again, I could be wrong, but I left the dealership without them. I have the 19" Rays, btw. I suspect that if you have the 18" wheels that come when you don't have the sport pkg, the regular Nissan locks will work just fine.
