when i got my car i was not given the lug nut key.... these are lexus rims but they are not stock for the sc model, at least i dont think, does anyone know what car these came off of or what i should ask the dealership when inquring for a replacement lug nut lock key?

if that's the case, the only thing u can do is just bring it to tired shop, and have them break it off, and u have to get a new set of lug nuts, that's nothing really u can do about it unless u know what kinda it is and send out a request to the company that makes it and have send u the same one to u. but that's only if u know exactly what kinda pattern it is tho.

man.. thats what what i was afraid of... thanks.... oh do i need to have new threads for each tire installed? do they literally "break" the thread off?

well i think it's worth the try to go to dealership and see if they have a matching key. if you do have the oem lug nuts, they have all the keys

take it to a tire shop they can get if off w/o breaking anything. they used a socket with rounded corners and hammered it onto thr wheel lock then took it off. took 10 mins.

sounds like a plan to me! yeah all the lugs look oem to me as well as the lock lug nut



if all else fails i'll bring it to a tire shop like kietlander suggested.

thanks a lot everyone! i appreciate it!

I think the OEM lug keys are gorilla lug style. I lost a key before, I copied what the pattern looked like and went to the autopart store and they had a few different sets of lugs there. I bought one that was almost exactly simular. It didnt fit exactly but I just lightly hammered the key on the lug and took off all 4 then I threw them away and used the ones I just bought with the kit.

yeah imana try hammering on a socket, i brought it over to lexus of las vegas and when i asked them for a key she brought out her master set of lug keys right when she saw my wheel she said she has never seen a stock lexus rim like mine ..... and my lock wasn't like the new style lock nuts so she said i have "aftermarket" wheel lugs.... i am almost 100% sure these are not aftermarket but it's pointless arguing with them..... ..... has anyone seen these rims before cause i've been looking around too but i can't find these rims on ANY other lexus
