Moved to proper forum

OEM wheel locks? They should have come with a registration card that had a code on them so you can order a replacment from McGard.

Most any wheels locks come with some kind of process that allows you to get a new key.

You can always get a wheel/tire shop to remove them for you but that typically ruins the locks - i.e. remove them and throw away and get new ones.

If you're brave, you can attempt to remove them yourself like a thief normally does. Hammer on a 3/4" socket over the lock nut then use an impact wrench to remove them.

You could use the 3/4" socket method, i actually just did that myself with a different set of lugs... only thing is dont use an impact gun... it will make the socket slip, use a breaker bar or torque wrench and slowly try to ease it off, dont apply to much torque or itll split and ruin the lock and the socket and then youll be really screwed lol

Yes, have them removed and get new ones if they make sure feel safer.

Go back to your dealer, there are only 8 different keys. Most Nissan Mechanics will have the full set, and can remove them for you.
