FYI: Lexus sells F-sport Wheel Installation kit -rebadged McGard black spline lugnuts
#16
So, my local Lexus dealer lost my Recaro booster carseat and gave me a $200 credit towards parts or service.
Looking through the Sewell parts catalog, I stumbled upon the F-Sport Wheel Installation Kits (there are 3 versions, all are black, 12mm x 1.5, conical seat):
The long set might be good for those with extended lugs.
If you want black lug nuts, McGards are the best because the black paint is very sturdy based on reviews on amazon.com
Oddly enough, on the staggered set, the longer lug nuts are for the front wheels, since the front wheels have a deeper lug area.
I guess the new F-sport wheels use the regular conical lug nuts, and not the specialty Toyota washer style.
I sold my Lexus, so I ordered the short set for my MR2 to use up my $200 credit.

Unfortunately I need the "Staggered Set" (PTR27-53080), I cannot find on the McGard website that they sell this 46.5mm nut/lock.
As far as I can see they only have the 35.1mm nut/lock which comes in a set as you mentioned (65557BK).
Anyone who is in the same boat as me or have found a different solution?

This is very helpful in general and for people who need the short set.
