Default wheel lock 'key'

hello all,

where can i get the 'key' to the wheel locks? i have the '03 touring w/ the o.e. 18s.

i got the car from a used car dealership and they didnt say anything (i doubt they'd know... small town place)

i just need the key/adapter to the lug wrench.

no you dont, first off, in your car, search everything, if you see the oem packaging for wheel locks, look inside it, the stock lugs with the key should be there. If you don't have the key and there is no way of finding it, go to the nearest NIssan dealer. They have master keys that will be able to help you out. No need to drill or anything, just go to Nissan.

There is always a contingency plan.

WTF?

My car didnt come with wheel locks. I used a lug wrench to get them all off. No key. I ordered wheel locks from courtesy nissan.

Something I'm missing here? Are the wheel locks standard?

I believe so. I went to have a small nail removed from mine once, and discovered that I was missing the lock. I looked all over for it. I called the dealership and they brought the kit over removed them and then gave me a new set. Check around where the jack is at and in the little bag that is there.

If they are Nissan locks, there are only about 10-12 different patterns. I lost my key and was able to go to my dealer to get the locking lugs removed. I then ordered a new key.

Neither did mine!?! Not that I care at this point since I have already replaced the wheels but it would be nice to get to the bottom of this.
