Default 20 inch Sepang BBS wheels

The '06 xjr I recently purchased had 20 inch Sepang wheels, all four with curb rash. I was able to clean them up to make them presentable. I had the tires taken off then used a very fine flat file to smooth out the rash ridges, followed by sanding with 350 sand paper, 400 and 600 wet/dry paper. I used a 4 inch buffing wheel(two) and buffed the stainless to a shiny finish using a Black polishing stick and a Grey polishing stick. I purchased the finer Green stick, but did not have to use it. I was able to remove some of the dents by tapping with a small body hammer.

I read on one of the threads that the lug nuts used with these wheels could be purchased from Toyota? One of the lug nuts has been damaged by careless nut removal. Anyone have information on this?

I used an anti-seize compound on each wheel bolt before attaching the wheel and used a torque wrench to 90 pounds. Thanks

I believe the bolts are identical to Toyota truck bolts not sure of the thread, but you can probably go to any auto parts store and purchase individual replacement lug nuts.
I purchased online Gorilla locking lug nuts for my XJR
