Default Are these Lexus wheel locks?

I need to remove these wheel locks and I do not have the key. I've been to a few tire shop and nobody has anything close. They suggest drilling the lock and the stud .

By any chance, does anybody know if these are Lexus wheel locks? I would drive to Lexus myself, but the tires are pretty much shot.

Stock Lexus wheels locks are made by McGard and usually have the washers fitted onto them. If you lost the key, you'll need a shop to "break" the lock for you.
