Hi,

I have a 2011 IS350 and on it I have Gorilla lug nuts which I can not remove in order to replace my brake pads. The Toyota dealer that I bought it from less than 6 months ago never gave me the key and wants to charge me for removal and replacement. A local rim shop informed me that the keys can be bought on Ebay, but they weren't able to tell me anything else. I found some of these keys on Ebay, but I don't know how to pick which one is the one I need. Can anyone help??

lol this is what they look like. I was told that these are the Gorilla brand...

The first 2 pics are the aftermarket ones, the 3rd pic is the original lug nut.

The thing about the Gorilla locks is they have many different security patterns for the splines and a universal tuner one likely won't work. Mine came with a card with the security number in case I lost the socket I could order one from Gorilla. Toyota oem Gorillas are like this..http://www.brandsport.com/grla-73631t.html

You may have to get a locking lugnut removal tool set or most tire shops usually have them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lug-Nut-Remover-Wheel-Lock-Removal-Kit-3pc-CTA-A157/400314048540?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D28794%26meid%3D4964bd7c25e548e69a331373c8b5a031%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D400467257443&rt=nc
