How many miles did you drive the car with the wrong lugs on before it broke?

Did you buy the car from an infiniti dealer? I know the warranty is probably up but you should go back to them with the pictures, you might at least be able to get a new set of rims out of it. Because as Betty said the lug holes on the rest of the wheels are probably weakened and not safe to ride on.

my experience with aftermarket lugs + stock wheels-bgzm4s1.jpg

Finally got the right lug nuts (thanks again Nick) figured I'd post a pic for comparison. I didn't realize how much of a difference there was...

If you had a transaction w/ Nick and want to leave feedback be sure to click on his iTrader link next to his name to leave feedback (if you weren't already aware of this).

If it was a transaction that occurred through the site (classifieds, PMs, contacts) then feedback is encouraged.

Old post i know but this literally happened to as i was going onto the highway except my wheel actually came off and rolled away and my car flat bottomed pushing my fender in. Already got a new fender and wheel on the way but can someone please assist me on a set of oem lug nuts for sale or a good aftermarket oem mag style lug nut provider.

Wow, scary stuff there, hope all is well under your car too. As far as lug nuts, here's a set https://www.amazon.com/Silver-Chrome...style+lug+nuts You could also post a WTB (Want To Buy) thread in the classifieds and see if any member has a set collecting dust.

I know this is a old thread. But were you able to repair the wheel?
