Broken Nissan Wheel Lock Key

I'm now driving around with Blizzaks on the passenger side and my Pirellis all seasons on the drivers side today. Got nearly 8 inches of snow in my area. I was putting on my snow tires last night and was just torquing up the rear passenger tire when I heard an awful crunch. I got these wheel locks with the car when I bought it.
I can get another set of Nissan wheel locks (aka McGuards) but I was wondering if there was another brand better than McGuards?

Was there any McGuard info in with your owners manual? Usually on the paper work there is a code you can order just a key from McGuard which I would think would be cheaper than replacing a whole set. As far as another brand ICW racing makes a "tuner" lug set that has the spline style not the pattern style like the McGuard.

I spoke with the parts guy at the stealership and they have 50 sets of McGuard master keys so I'll just get them to take off the locks and put on the regular nuts. Also told me that it'll take about 3 weeks for McGuard to send out a new key. A new set of Nissan wheel locks is only $30 bucks and a new key would cost about the same I was told.
