Had a flat at Logan on my previous car ('99 RX 300). When they tried to change flat, found the wheel nut was distorted and thus the key wouldn't work, so had to be towed. A very long nite..... Changed to keyless wheel nuts and never looked back.
I figured the concept is enough of a deterrent from the rare tire theft, anyway. Are hoods going to be searching for that RX with the keyless to steal the tires?

I just sent my pics, here's to a good and painless (less $) resolution!

Wow that was pretty quick from Nancy. I actually have a set with 2 lug nuts missing, sent the pics and my cost will be $10.49 for each of the lug nuts. I am ordering it now.
I will have locks for the SC.
The RX will have no locks after I dump the 2 which are still installed. Will get Lexus to unscrew it and replace with regular lug nut when they do the recall on the floor mats.
Thanks for the tip.

So how did the lug nut issue work out?

You can have them "cut" off. However, that requires you to then replace the wheel lug stud as well as getting new lug nuts installed.
If you want a set of locks you might be best served by just buying a new set from the dealer, Sewell, or from your auto parts store to have installed once you get the current ones off. Check above posts for the AutoZone part number. Should be similar for your LS.

A Lexus mechanic brought home one of the 10 master keys for the McGard. My locks have been removed. No more locks. Was not able to update to let you guys know.

Thanks.
If you feel OK about going sans locks, I would go to the dealer and have them remove the locks on each wheel and replace them with a standard wheel lug nut. They have universal tools for such situations. Not sure if a Toyota shop can do the same or if your local tire shop can help remove these.

They say there are 10 master keys. 1 look at the lock, they know what master to use.

Of course these are well guarded, the lock keys are.
