Are all the wheel locks and lugs the same for all 370z models??

shoud be the same. Im pretty sure the 2013 onward wheels are still using the washer type lugs.

check courtesyparts.com for info on the 2013-2014 wheels (or post a pict of your lug)

yah, you can just compare the lug part numbers online between 2009 and 2013.

Ok so I have ordered the OEM wheel locks and MAYBE get Gorilla wheel locks too. Now these look like they will fit?

They won't. I've tried everything that resembles anything close to OEM. The flange isn't large enough.
If you think it'll stop someone from jacking your wheels, you're right, they'll just jack the whole car instead (but they aren't effective to begin with, lol)

Well damn lol. Has anyone ever tried replacing the 5 lugs with OEM wheel locks? Lol.

I used to run 2.

You don't want to run locks really. The lug itself isn't as strong.



And go run 5, I'll still get the wheels off, LOL!
For what it's worth. Nissan/McGard makes SEVEN different locks. SEVEN. I can buy the dealer's box of keys for $200 for almost every McGar used on Nissan's and Toyotas

LMAO. What other locks could I use that will fit my Rays?

It's weird that some newer Z's don't come with wheel locks.

... You're not getting it...
ONLY OEM locks are "safe" you don't want to drag or track on them.
IF someone wants to steal your wheels, NO lock on the market will stop them.



Locks aren't standard, it's a dealer option. Want to pay $40-50, I'm confident your local dealer stocks them

Oh I get what you're talking about. I was just seeing what other locks I may get. I know it will only slow the thieves down taking the wheels. I ordered a set of OEM wheel locks 2 days ago for $46 shipped.

May possibly look into viper alarm with tilt sensor something like that to where it'll tell me if someone is lifting my car up or messing with it.
