Frequent wheel changes?
What would you guys recommend for wheel changes each year? The oem Lug wrench just isn't cutting it anymore and I dont want to damage the lugs anymore. Also which lug nut extractor would you recommend for the key locks on a 98 gs400 with oem 17's?

If you do not have the lock key, you should just find a local tire shop and get them off once and for all, and either buy a set of locks for which you have keys, or swap to regular lugs.. Call around first, ask for price. Either the shop will use a unspecific tool/method to remove the wheellock, or they may have a set of masterkeys (this may be more frequently found at lexus/toyota)
If you really are doing frequent wheel changes, perhaps you should invest in air tools/electric impact wrench, and appropriate set of lug sockets (if you are looking for the specialty part, these should be either softer or coated to protect your lugs)
You can still spin the lugnuts on with the powertool, but then do the final torquing with torque wrench
