what you think guys are they ok?
Thanks

Not sure if standard. Always good to have though. Those don't look like the most secure ones ive seen, but they are cheap and a very long way better than none.

they're not the most secure, hammer a slightly smaller socket on and bobs your uncle.

Best looking for a standard Lexus set, (three pins in the middle)

I would assume they do come standard though.

That's the thing that I struggled with when trying to find McGard ones. It's not just the measurement, it's the shape of the end. There is a slight taper on the standard OEM ones, as per (very bad) pic below :

All I know about locking nuts are that McGuard do the best ones, the standard 3 pin ones that come on the IS200's aren't the best (easy to break the pins).

Yep, the McGard ones are excellent. Although it's a bit of a nightmare to find which McGard ones are right ! (I had a separate thread on this)
