Ratatat Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Which model or packaging do i need for the wifes '95 ES 300. The wheel lock is starting to get pretty beat up on the inside where it seats on the lugs themselves, so I would like to change it before it goes completely to hell. I guess I need the lug spec's.

Lex2001 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Discount Tire stripped the outside of one of mine when I was getting new tires. They offered to pay for new ones but said it would take two days to get them from Lexus. I was going out of town the next day and wanted them changed so I bought them myself. I took one of the them off and drove to the dealership. Gave the lug to the parts guy. I bought new ones for $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratatat Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 here it is, 12mm x 1.50 thread, the lugs are same thread but 13/16th nuts size. My sc400 is same thread but 3/4 inch nut for the lug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homemechanic Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 You can buy a complete set of 4 locks and 1 key from Kragen Auto Parts, if you are in the west coast. I bought a set for $25+tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spalkin Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I did away with mine. I have NEVER seen wheels get stolen except on old cartoons. I have never known anyone who's wheels and tires have been stolen and the car left up on blocks. It's easier to steal the whole car I figured, if someone steals my rims and tires, and that's a huge if. I'll just call my agent, pay my deductable and get some new ones. Long range report: I have nice rims and skins and the locks have been off for three years. Nobody cares. Just sayin' :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 My 05 ES already had the Lexus wheel locks when I purchased the car used......back in the spring I put new OE ES 350 'take off' wheels & new tires on her.....well over $3,000+ if you bought the wheels brand new in the parts department. I sleep better at night with the Lexus wheel locks on.....which are only about $25 anyways. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spalkin Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 That's cool. Such a pain in the !Removed!, though. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Not really, key for the lock is somewhere on the car at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
