Default GS400 Wheel Locks

Is there a finite set of generic Lexus wheel locks, so although unique, someone can get the full set from a Lexus dealer, and go about stealing Lexus rims?

Mine are rusted and don't look good, for pure cosmetics, I am deciding if I should go back to OEM or get another set of aftermarket

Also, are these OEM?

No. You need the...I believe they're called "short mag shank" or something along those lines. I would go more into detail, but someone else will chime in and explain why those will not work.

You can pretty much just take your car to the dealer, and they'll get you a key for it. That's what I did when I bought my car, and it didn't come with the key.
