Default lug nut locks oem?

I was unfortunate enough to run over a lovely nail on Saturday which took care of my tire. To my suprise when I removed the oem lug cover off the tornado rim. There was a locking lug nut on thier. I searched ebay and came up with the picture with the matching design of lock thats on my lug. The aution stated that the setup was oem. Can someone confirm this please. I don't have the key. But eventually got it off and changed by a Sears Grand. thnx for any help

those are definitely OEM locks.... however, although the key may appear identical to yours, Lexus used either 16 or 32 different designs...

unless you want to break them off (usually hammering a socket or lock remover on, then removing with an impact wrench), your best bet would be to go to Lexus and get them to get you a replacement key... they should have a master set there, and might even remove yours for a small fee I'm sure...

You can also check under the carpet in your trunk next to the spare, you should see a black pouch about the size of a small cell phone and it should have the key for the locks.
