OP, you've had your car for how long now and you are just realizing it had wheel locks? Thankfully you never had a flat and attempted to put the spare on. Good luck with everything.

Okay, so bought new in June, no mention of locks on any invoices nor have I come across a "key". How would I tell if I have locking lug nuts? Oh, and not like the salesman knew much about the car since they picked it up from across state/different dealer...

Go look at your Z and see if one of the lugs is different from the rest. Also, Mitco posted a picture of them...
