Wheel locks
 

Hey guys I know this had been posted thousand times.

But my 13' Z with the Rays wheels did not come with wheel locks...I am wanting to know if anyone knows where I can get OEM wheel locks or if this picture below will fit my Rays wheels???

I like those - never seen them before.

I cannot say for sure. While they do appear to have the acorn tapered style that is required for the OEM wheels, I'm not convinced the taper is large enough. If you can check the dimensions of them, there is an image somewhere on this forum with the stock lug nut dimensioned for comparison.

You can get OEM wheel locks from some vendors (dealers) here on the forum or your local dealer. I purchased mine from a fellow forum member.

I would get OEM from vendors here but when I PM them they won't see their messages or takes too long to reply lol.

That shank is not big enough... I'm not sure anything but OEM lugs and locks can be used on OEM wheels.

For image comparison, here are the OEM ones:

Hmm this will work? Looks like the same size as OEM ones but it's wheel locks.

Those look very much like the OEM wheel locks I use.

I checked compatibility it says it'll fit

I see the watermark on the image appears to be an Infiniti dealership. I would guess that both Infiniti and Nissan have the same lug nuts, but I would want to double check for sure.

Ok. I'll message the seller and see. If all fails i may just order them online through Nissan. But thanks for your help! :D

:tiphat:

they should work.

the taper on the tip is for when you need to use your donuts. most steelies can use either ball or tapered types from past experience. the lugs look pretty stupid though cause it looks super huge vs standard taper/ball lugs when used on steelies. :D hahaha but during a flat it's more about getting you home safely vs looks.

Which wheel locks are you referring to? The gorilla ones or the OEM ones I posted pics of??

the aftermarket ones. when you get them compare the outer diameter with your factory lug. if they are the same should be no issue.

there's basically only 3 types of lugs for passenger cars:

washer type (like our oem) hubcentric wheel lugs
taper (acorn)
ball

Ok cool. Thanks guys for your help! :)
