Default IS350 wheels lug question...

I just bought 18" is350 wheels for my dwp 1997 lexus sc300! Does anybody know what size lugs I need and where can i buy them? Also I would like to get anodized blue lugs, is this possible on the stock wheels? If you have done the colored lugs on the stockies please post pics. Any knowledge would help greatly, thanks for the help.

try Sewell Lexus or Carson Toyota, they are both sponsors/vendors on CL. They'll sell you the standard wheel lug nuts. they are 12x1.5mm thread pitch if I remember right. I don't know about the blue anodizing, maybe someplace sells them that way but you may just have to find a shop that anodizes them for you. Most of the aftermarket stuff that comes in different colors won't work, since they are mostly the acorn-style "tuner" lugnuts for tapered aftermarket wheels. The OEM Lexus wheels need the flat-seat style lugnuts. Maybe McGard makes color options for the OEM style?

I dont think its good to use aftermarket lugs on OEM wheels. You can always get OEM lugs powdercoated for like $90 I think.
