Default vision motorworks lug nuts on OEM wheels??

hey guys i just sent my oem is300 wheels to get powder coated flat black and i was looking at getting the orange vision motorworks lug nuts for my wheels since my car is the auburn sky color but i dont know if they would fit right with the OEM wheels but are they even good??? i found them on ebay and asked the seller if they would fit and he said yes but im just tryin to make sure hes not just trying to sell them to me n make money... so please i need some info back so i can order them n take them to the shop before they are done with them so they can put the lug nuts on for me

NO..do not use these types of lugs on your oem wheels. toyota/lexus wheels use a mag style lug which is a flat lug with a washer. using anything else will not only ruin the seat on your wheels but can come loose while driving.

the guy thats trying to sell these dont kno **** and is trying to make a buck

No as mentioned they will not work. OEM wheels require Mag style lugs. these orange lugs are Acorn style lug nuts for aftermarket wheels. see below examples

Acorn
