Default What to get to adapt factory TIRE IRON to aftermarket wheels?

If your aftermarket rims use 17mm lugs, then go to Courtesy Nissan and buy the adapter. It's under $6.

You can take one of the lugs to the local hardware store and buy a deep metric socket that will work as well. The factory tire iron is crap and way too slow. Another alternative is to buy a metric tire iron from the local auto store. Tire irons that you can spin are faster and its easier to get some torque on the lug than with that stock POS.
