Yeah...seems like they work fine right up til when they break. I'm not impressed with McGuard style locks at all.... Anyone out to steal your wheels can defeat these easily with the right tool..or they'll break and leave you stranded and unable to remove your wheel. Seems like too many things to go wrong with these..(but thay are cheap enough)

Thanks for posting that Dad! According to that bulletin the parts that I ordered are in fact the correct appilcation. Apparently the G35 had similar lug nuts as the 370.

Are you saying that the Nissan 370Z-specific wheel locks break?

Default Wheel Locks

So I just took my car in for maintenance, I told them about the wheels locks and they let me know that the incorrect ones are correct. They told me they would check but the dude said he was sure those were correct.

Can someone give me the correct Item number or anything that I can give him so he can look for it in the parts department?

Nevermind guys/gals the technician was very cool and ordered me the correct ones for free. He said that they made a mistake with some of the 370zs.

FWIW, I had the same problem after I picked up my new '13. Dealer blamed it on the dealer that he got the car from. I suppose the "Pre-delivery inspection" consists of making sure that the dealer's plastic license tag advertising is installed, and nothing else.
