Default Dented Chrome 2006 GS Lexus 18s

I hit a pothole, and it caused a bubble and a dented rim. I bought the new 245/40/18, but little did I know the wheel was dented. ANy warranty? Guess I'll ask Sewell Lexus. I'll have to order a simgle chrome rim.

Also, I lost my wheel lug lock, they had to rip the lock off with a special socket to change the tire. Is there a device or a way to get a relacement 'key' to get the other ones off, and I guess I need to order a new set of 4?

I've had experience with losing the wheel lock key, and apparently these wheel lock keys are unique to the wheel locks, so once you lose the key, there is almost no chance to get a replacement for just the key; you'd have to buy a whole new set of wheel locks. Your best bet is to bring your car to a Lexus dealership and have them take off the wheel locks, and buy a set of wheel locks from the parts department.

Default Wheel locks........

Most aftermarket wheel/tire shops have a universal wheel lock that they can try and use to open yours........next time buy Gorilla wheel locks, they come with an identification number that you can use to reorder your key if you lose it.

Oh the shop charged my 40 bucks to take off all four wheel locks, GOOD LUCK!
