You are out of luck, just take your car to several shops and compare prices to get your locking lugnuts off. Same thing happened to me, I went and bought me a set of gorilla locking lugnuts..

i had the same problem when i bought my 400 the rims didn't have a key. but luckly sears had a set of deep impact sockets that are designed to "grip the lock" like a standerd socket

heh, good luck... hopefully the dealership will have a master lock set with an old enough version that yours is there...

IIRC, there are/were either 16 or 32 different toyota/lexus lock patterns...

x2 on that grip socket rims shops can remove the lock nut or you can take it to the dealer the techs should have a master key lock set and they can take it off for you. I have had the same thing happen to me twice and i work at lexus so i was lucky

if they are OEM lock, then Toyota should have a set of all the locks ever produced for toyota...or you can have them drilled out

although many look similar, you will quickly find that they are not the same...

not quite as obvious as square peg into a round hole, but similar concept...
