Default IS-F Forged Lug Nuts

Just got these in the mail today. I weighed the stock lug nuts and they were nearly a pound on each wheel. The forged ones are a third of a pound and they match the wheels better....

They're basically black McGard spline drive lugs.

I don't think these will work properly..

You need lugs with a flat washer & shaft... just like OEM..
The shaft enters the wheel lug hole and the washer properly seats the lug to the wheel.

An acorn style lug will not work correctly on an OEM Lexus wheel.

Yeup.... Actually the IS-F uses the regular 2IS Lug nuts....

I compared during wheel swap test with Phillip, but never really mentioned it...

Joe, these are f-sport lug nuts for the is-f according to Luis from Carlsson. Perhaps he can shed some light.....

So now I see you posted a set of the fronts & rears...
Rears are longer..

I am pretty sure these will work fine on the F-Sport Wheel, but I don't think these will work on any OEM Lexus wheel or IS-F wheel for that matter..

Two very different lug designs for two different wheels..

Vice versa would be that the OEM Lexus Lug nuts will NOT work with F-Sport Wheels.. based on the design I see in the below photos..
