First of all if you have aftermarket wheels you typically cannot use the OEM lugs. And you putting the lugs on "wonkey" doesn't necessarily make it safe nor smart cause you probably damaged the studs already.

To remove the the factory wheels i have removed the factory lugs and i have tryed removing the factory locking wheel nuts , the tool that fits the factory lexus locking nut doesnt sit flush to the lug and cant get any leverage to turn them cause it comes of , i after market wheels and the correct aftermarket wheel lugs

try turning it... it fits only 1 way... turn it till it fits.... i've never gotten any problems taking any stock rims out... i've owned 2 lexus' before and it has no problems... i doubt they gave you the wrong keys

don't tell me it's your first with handling this type of wheel locks

is it possible you have the wrong key for the stock lugs?

what i always do is push the key in til it stops, then while still pushing a little pressure on the key, i slowly turn the key til it clicks into place.

No its the correct one , the front wheels have come loose but the rears are a no go , bit strange it fits but not 100% , my wife is taking the car to work tommorow and the boys will get the air gun on it

as much as i love my lexus, the 2is is not meant to be taken apart, everything you do is a pita and rarely does anything go perfectly smooth, good luck with the mods

Hmm surprising. The wheel locks fit real snug for my wheels. Maybe you should bring to dealership to check if they gave you right key.

I for one found the IS to be pretty easy to work with. I felt like I was working on my 97 corolla at times.

I will soon see tommorow , if they go on i will take some pics and post them up here
