How did everyone go about getting their wheel lock key to remove the stock rims on their IS's. (thanks in advance)

Well, you first have to have wheel locks, which are not standard with the IS.

Second, if you do have wheel locks, you'll find the key strapped next to the spare tire under the trunk mat.

It should be in a case with the jack tools and so on. Look inside that case for a red zip lock like bag and they key is in there.

Lexus produced roughly 17 different wheel locks for the gen 1's and about the same for the gen 2's. My advice would be to get rid of it as it will strip regardless of how gentle you are with it. They are about $22 a piece.

When you get mooncakes dont forget to get some McGuard lugsnuts

Yes,
I still have a set for future wheels.

Try 10 different combinations. Trust me, I've seen the kit and used it myself at the dealer. Gen1 and Gen2 don't really diff, its a master lock key set that they have (used for all models.)

Don't get rid of the locks, they cost money for a reason and thats to prevent theft of the oem wheels. Think about it... rims + wheels + sensors = $$$. Keys don't strip unless you are removing the lugs with the key carelessly.

Only reason why I had removed a set of my dad's car was because his car was old and I didn't feel like spending money on a new key. I have an extra set of 5 lugs I will be putting on his car soon.

You'll have to get a whole new set of 4 wheel locks and key--they don't just sell the key by itself--and you'll have to get the dealer to take them off for you.

(learned about this the hard way changing a flat on my Acura late one night, and losing the wheel lock key)

I believe McGard has a code for their keys in case the key gets lost..Maybe there's a code for the Lexus key for a replacement.
If so,you can avoid a lot of hassle and expense.

the dealer gave me the code for the wheel lock with the manual.

I guess we all have one.I'll have to check.
With the code,I would think a key should be available for purchase..
