best if you could find the serial number...then you could get a new key.

i've heard of people finding a socket that barely fit on the lug nut and bashing it on with a hammer. you'll damage the lug nut (and maybe the socket).

you could take it to a tire shop...i'm sure they see that all the time

If it's your stock locking lug, not too terribly difficult to find a matching key at any wheel/tire place. but it's a lot easier to do what CSF said and just hammer on a socket. A set of locking lugs is cheap, as is the socket.

Of course if you have the serial number to your locks, that works too But you would have to send off for it and it takes about a week.

dealership has a master set have them remove them and either buy a new set or just put regular lug nuts on.

Who makes the lock? I lost my McGard wheel lock key and took a picture of the lock and emailed it to them. They sent me out a replacement key and it worked.

Good luck!

they can match it at the dealership the master set has numbers that will cross reference with the PN and they can order you a new one.

Just break it off with the hammer.

No one should steal your OEM wheels (I assume this is what you refer too). We did have that happen to someone recently, but not common unless you park in tough parts of town. New lug nuts (one set) will cost your like $30 from Nissan anyway, so it will cost your $30-40 no matter what.
