Default Wheel lock

Hi all, I am new here. Just got a 2015 is250 f-Sport.
I did some search and know that we use lug nut size M12x1.5, but not sure what kind of seat is using for my stock wheel. Is that acorn seat, ball seat, or mag seat. Also, what brand do you recommend to get?

Thanks

Toyota/Lexus uses the mag seat type if you're using OEM alloy wheels. The nut type is dictated by the wheel so if you're using aftermarket wheels, the nut type may be different. If you're using OE wheels, I would just stop by the nearest Toyota dealer and grab a wheel lock set (by McGard), which will probably be cheaper than Lexus. Also, if you bring your vehicle to the dealer for service, they will have all the Toyota/Lexus lock patterns so you won't need to provide it.
