are you referring to the lug key or the actual tools? the tools are located in the trunk under the carpet and lining where the spare tire is located.

if it isnt under the trunk carpet in the back you are going to have to buy a universal one at a parts store or buy an OEM kit from lexus

I'd just go to the store and buy a socket set. Much more useful than the tire iron and socket they have in the emergency change set. Personally I always carry about a breaker bar with a 17mm socket in my trunk.

You running aftermarket lugs? Toyota/Lexus OEM lugs take a 21 mm socket.

Oh yeah that fact did totally slip my mind, but the idea is still the same. Just get a breaker bar and throw on a 21mm socket and you should be fine. 21mm should work with wheel locks keys like Mcguard as well. More useful and probably the same price as if you were buying that emergency tool kit

A breaker bar is worth its weight in gold. I keep mine in my trunk with my 21 mm socket after I got a flat tire once on the highway and ended up paying $150 for a tow back to my house because I couldn't get the lugs off.

Same here. I keep a socket and a ratcheting torque wrench in my trunk.
