I forgot to mention that the car's tire iron/wheel nut wrench does not fit the key. My bad.
I wasn't all that worried because I always carry a tool box that includes a socket and wrench that fits the key. I carry the tool box for emergency repairs.
I basically can use the car's wheel nut wrench to remove the regular nuts and then the socket and wrench from my tool set to remove the wheel locks with the key.
Sorry I forgot to mention this. It wasn't an issue for me so I overlooked the matter in the posts.

That sounds like a poor design on McGard's part! The set I bought has a key that has two different sized hex sizes on it.

Similar to the below spline key:

Hi

I'm looking for lock nuts for my Kizashi.

In Spain anyone knows this car so I'm looking for in Ebay and I find these nuts:

Could anyone tell me if these nuts are suitable for the Kizashi? They are M12x1.25 but the seller tell me not.

Could anyone tell me another website where I can buy them (I'm in Spain)?

Thanks.

Europeans Kizashi has the same wheel nut size.

Confirmed! :D

I have bought a Muteki wheel nuts set M12x1.25 and the nuts are suitable to our cars.

I'll improve the nuts tool before installing them because it is so fragile. I'm going to put on it a exterior shell to reinforce it. After I'll cover the tool with some adhesive tape to not damage the alloy wheels. Soon new pics.
