Have you tried your local dealership? I know we usually keep the different keys in stock.
Or you can try:
http://www.mcgard.com/
They make the wheel locks for Lexus.

Just ordered a replacement key, and wheel lock from McGard today. Call 1-800-669-6887, and press 3 when you start to hear the recording.

Have a major credit card, and the McGard registration card that came with your vehicle as the sales rep will need some info from it.

The key is $14.99, and a new wheel lock is $10.49. They will be sent to you via First Class mail unless otherwise requested.

Good luck

Each different key design has a color code and number code. So a #52 key also has the color code of red.

Neither "# 52" nor "color code of red" corresponds to a McGard key ID number. A McGard identification number is five large numbers, followed by ten small numbers. You must have a different brand wheel lock, if this is the case then the above info I provided is useless.

in all honesty, you're better off just going to a tire shop and having them break the wheel lock for you and replace the wheel locks with another set. It should be very cheap (10 or so bucks to break, and another 20 for a set of wheel locks). And it's just my opinion, but if you're rocking stock wheels, just get a regular lug nut in place of it. I keep losing my wheel lock or the lock separates from the lug, so I just got rid of them altogether.

Wheel locks are a pain in the ***. Just wait until you have a flat in the middle of the night or heat of day and the lock nut gets stuck, strips or breaks. Unless you live in a bad area of town and can't keep the car garaged I'd take off the lock nuts and replace them with a normal ones.

I have to agree with Specter....ditch the wheel locks, if you have to worry about your stockers being stolen I'm pretty sure your car won't be around long.

wheel locks are pretty much useless. if you're that p-noid just get a sensitive alarm system, pitbull, couple IP webcams, .357, and maybe a sniper rifle-- ya know just in case they "get away"

nah but seriously if you really wanna keep em on then make sure you don't lose this key-- maybe keep it in the tool kit by the jack in the trunk

good luck with this one!

All the ones we sell do. When a customer loses one we have to get the 2 or 3 digit code or the corresponding color code if they have the Mcgard card. Or we have to physically see the lock itself to match it up.

When I first bought my ES some dummy who was working on my breaks lost my wheel lock.

I got my wheel lock replacement from the Parts Dept at the Lexus Dealership. She had a little kit and she took it to my car to see which one fit...found it then told me it was like $25. She even told me since it was just the one Wheel Lock on my car I needed removed and I had a regular one to go in its place to bring it back when I was done and get my money back. I didnt do that because I hate returning anything BUT it was nice of the Stealership to offer that. It was the quickest way to get my problem solved!
