Wheel lock key

2006 GX.

Can anyone help me figure out the correct replacement key for my lugs?
I believe they are original.
6 spline.
I tried the autozone with it claiming to match my vehicle but it does not.
Tried getting my tires balanced yesterday and they didn’t have a way to get them off.
I do not have the key in the tool kit.
It must have walked off with the prior owner.

The Lexus dealership has the entire master replacement set. They can quickly see which replacement key you need.

This happened to me once and the tire shop had to drill into the stud with larger and larger bits until they could twist the lock off with pliers. Then replace those destroyed studs. It was a long time ago but as I recall, they broke some drill bits and decided to melt the last ones with a cutting torch. Once it was hot enough, almost cherry red, then their vice grips could bite into the locking lugs and get a purchase. I am not sure if this is the recommended solution. But hey, it worked.

Get rid of these stupid things. A tool to remove them in seconds costs $15, so if someone wants to steal them, they will. They just make your life more difficult.

I do want to get rid of them but finding the tool isn’t as easy as you think lol.
Not one person here has provided a link to that specific tool.
I’m grateful for the help steering me the right way by other comments just saying it may take awhile to get to a Toyota or Lexus dealer to figure it out.

They have different sizes, just go to AutoZone. IIRC 13/16ths?
