Help! Wheel lock lugs for base "dark metallic" rims?
 

This is for a 2023 IS 500...
Is there a specific Lexus wheel lock lug that color matches the base "Enkei Dark Metallic" wheel lugs or does Lexus only offer the same black ones that go with the BBS black wheels?
I've been looking online for color matching wheel locks (dark metallic) but can't find a part # or see any that matches the dark metallic lugs.

Why don't you get your car first Felixcat. You've asked every question under the sun already.

WHO THE HECK IS FELIXCAT??? I'm so confused, you've called me that before on some posts I put up and now it's actually annoying

I think if your car comes with the dark metallic Enkeis, it should have wheel bolts and locks that look appropriate.

My sales manager is saying the wheel locks are matte black which doesn't seem right since it would clearly stand out and not match the rest of the metallic color. Do you by chance have a part number for that colored wheel lock you have on your wheels?

This is the one you want. I have the Dark metallic Enkei wheel. I bought them for my wheels as it didn't come with wheel locks. These lug bolt are the same size and type as our stock. And the color are pretty much the same, if not the same..at least I couldn't tell the difference.

These are NOT the correct locks. The shank size and pitch are correct, but our cars have a 14mm radius on the ball seat (R14), not 13mm. The R13 bolt will thread in fine since shank is the correct size and thread pitch, but the bolt will not fully engage the 14mm seat. You may not have a problem since it is only 1 of the 5 lugs, but I would not recommend it. The ones I will link below have a 27mm shank length, but should still have plenty of thread engagement (only 1mm shorter than OEM) and would be far more preferable than having an incorrect seat size. The 100% correct specification would be: M14x1.5x28mm R14.

The OEM locks that came on my car with the dark metallic Enkeis were a matte black finish. I think the intention is for the bolts to visually "disappear" rather than to match the finish of the wheels. They are not the same finish as the wheels themselves, nor would I expect them to be.

Good to know thanks. What color were the regular wheel hub bolts that came with your Enkeis? Were they also matte black or more "metallic" that matched the actual wheel color?
The pic that @604GSE21 posted of his metallic wheels is what has me confused since it looks like his regular bolts and the 1 wheel lock all match the metallic wheel which imo look a lot better.
Seems odd that Lexus wouldn't make color matching wheel locks and only offer matte black ones despite the wheel color.

They are all a matte black finish...I think it's just the lighting in that photo that's giving you a different impression. It looks like they may have a black oxide coating or something similar. They do not draw attention at all so I would not worry about it.

^^^^Yes, look at the Lexus center cap, we all know that is black:uh:
