Wheel locks..NEED HELP!

I bouht my 2K2 SE less than a week ago, and it has wheel lock bolts on it. Of course, they didnt leave the bolt with the car. Where is the best place to go to get a bolt, I heard there are tons of different bolts, how would I tell which one fits mine? Thanks.

I had that problem before when i brought a used jetta. I had a place called direct tire cut them off because they told me it would be pretty hard to find the correct key to remove them. Find a shop the is willing to cut them off......

When I had my accident a few months ago the shop even though they had the bolt used vice grips or something similar to take them off.

I had this problem when I bought my maxima, I took it to a Nissan dealership and told them my situation, showed them proof of ownership and they removed them. They have a special tool set with all the different keys, which only the dealership have. I'd give that a try first.

Locking lugnuts on the factory wheels? They might be the ones that you can buy from Nissan parts. If that's the case, then the dealership can certainly get them off.

When I swapped my Titanium Edition SE for the 17'' 350Z wheels, I also quietly traded lugnuts with him. He doesn't know the difference, and now I have the 350Z locking lugnuts and key.

*EDIT*

Just so you guys don't think I'm some sort of awful person, let me clarify. The 350Z owner is an idiot I know. He got half of his money from mommy and daddy and half from selling drugs. He bought a 350Z and then packed it full of "discount" touchscreens and audio equipment. He then proceeded to stop paying for the 350Z right before he wrapped it around a tree. He blames the accident on the tires that he got when he put on my old Titanium Edition wheels (Nitto NT450s). I blame the accident on the fact that he was driving while high.
