FYI: Lexus sells F-sport Wheel Installation kit -rebadged McGard black spline lugnuts
So, my local Lexus dealer lost my Recaro booster carseat and gave me a $200 credit towards parts or service.
Looking through the Sewell parts catalog, I stumbled upon the F-Sport Wheel Installation Kits (there are 3 versions, all are black, 12mm x 1.5, conical seat):
The long set might be good for those with extended lugs.
If you want black lug nuts, McGards are the best because the black paint is very sturdy based on reviews on amazon.com
Oddly enough, on the staggered set, the longer lug nuts are for the front wheels, since the front wheels have a deeper lug area.
I guess the new F-sport wheels use the regular conical lug nuts, and not the specialty Toyota washer style.
I sold my Lexus, so I ordered the short set for my MR2 to use up my $200 credit.

OK, here is the story:
Dropped off my IS350 for the cam gear recall and got a loaner CT200h. Transferred my booster seat to the loaner car. When I picked up my car, I forgot to move the booster seat back.
I called the dealership 2 hrs after I left, but they said the loaner car I had already went out to a different customer. They got a hold of the new user and they said there was no booster seat in the car. My service advisor searched the entire dealership and could not find it either (I gave them a week to look for it). Sucks too because Recaro stopped making that particular model.

The funny thing is that everybody assumes Recaro carseats are expensive, but I actually bought the lost booster seat for $80 brand new. The model name was Vivo. So I actually came out ahead on the deal

I've been using the staggered one for over 5 years and the paint is still black and not chipped. I love how light they are compared to the OEM ones. They are slightly smaller than my old Muteki lug nuts on my old car (that Muteki anodized paint got scraped off so easily)
Didn't know about the long ones going in the front, I had been putting the short ones up front and long ones in the rear.
