Default Wheel Lock

If you bought it from a dealer, go back to them and have them get you one through Lexus. If you bought it from an individual, call them and ask them about it. They may have placed it in a different location than the standard location (in the "trunk" with the jack and tool bag). Last you can go to a Lexus dealer and have them check the VIN and wheels and they should be able to order one for you.

Good Luck

Last option is just use a socket that is just smaller than the wheel lock, tap in on with a hammer and remove the lock lug like normal with a breaker bar. That is provided it is the standard Lexus ones that are smooth on the outside. I've done this when I lost my key socket for my original set. You'd be surprised how easy it is to remove. Took all but 30 seconds.

Wow.

I guess this means that wheel lock won't really protect the wheels from theft. Those with polished chrome deuce 20 inchers, watch out.

Thanks,
I bought it from the dealer auction so there is no way to contact previous owner...
I will try to remove it.
