Pohanka Lexus in VA quoted me a price of $61 for 16 lugnuts + 4 locking lugnuts + 1 key. You might want to check around. Have you contact Steve for the lugnuts?

are you using the older model Sc lugs by any chance? those were much longer than the newer ones. if you used the stock ones from say a 97+, they would be perfect for your new GS rims. i might have a whole set of the lugs around if you want.

i had this problem when i put on my alstadts on my gs except my lug nuts were to short, go to Napa Autoparts you can get a set of four for 6 dollars or something. i'm assuming your wheel lock fits fine so you won't need any of those.
