Alright guys, I need a set of oem lug nuts for my IS300. I think I can pretty much use any of the following: 2nd or 3rd gen GS, any gen IS, or newer ES. If anybody in the valley is running aftermarket rims and don't need the OEM lugs anymore I would really appreciate it if you would sell them to me. lol
Thanks guys

We (Travis or I) might have a set. I'll check tonight when I get home. You need them for everyday use or to sell some wheels?

Cool thanks man. I need the for everyday use because the guy I bought the car from had aftermarket lugs on the stockies. I took my car to Scottsdale lexus because my car was making weird noises from the rear/diff area. The tech at lexus said that the noise was because the lugs were aftermarket and didn't tighten the wheel enough. (not sure if this is true or not because I jacked up the car and checked all 4 wheels and they didn't move at all)Originally Posted by 4GRAINR

So, I want to buy a set of OEM lugs and take it back to Lexus if the noise continues.

Toyota OEM lugs are specific, they have a "shank" that protrudes through the alloy wheel. Only Toyota alloy lugs will work with Toyota alloy wheels properly. It could be some BS, but either way that issue needs to be resolved ASAP as it could be a huge safety hazard.Originally Posted by shern
