Looking for Lug Nuts
I am looking for a set of lug nuts for my 88 4Runner. I am switching from the factory steel wheels to the factory alloys. Thanks.

email Tom Quan at tomaimee@earthlink.net
he has these brand new log nuts, $50 for all 4 wheels. ask him for the long shank ones, i like those better than the stock length, also, ask him if he can throw in couple extras for spare, nomrally, he will.
oh, FYI my local stealer wants $7.56 for each nut when i broke my wheel stud. i said HEEEEEll no.

TC4RNR - Thanks for the tip. I was quoted $5.50 each today at my local stealership. I even decided to hit some local wheel shops to see if they had any laying around.
Mud and Drew - Thanks for the remarks but but if it were that easy I would not have posted. The lugs needed for Toyota factory alloys are not easily found at auto parts stores in my neck of the woods, or online for that matter. They have a shank and a built in washer that is exclusive to Toyota and Lexus.
I would also be interested in a used set also. Thanks.

whatever you do, get a good measurement on the I/D of the lug holes on your rim, a digital caliber can be handy.
please correct me if i'm wrong. Toyota makes lug holes on their rims 1/400" bigger than the American counterparts, thus those lug nuts made for standard rims, are not really "snug". over time, it can cause rattle.
i just have a lug nut measured, the OD of it is 0.720"
i believe Costco carries all kinds of lug nuts all the time.

Thanks guys! I will check some tire shops on Monday and Ebay ASAP. I have attached a cut sheet on the nut for those that are not familiar with it.

Junk yard item. A lot of 4 and 6 lug Toyota alloy wheels use the same size lug nuts. Over the years I've picked up numerous sets of chrome lugs off older celicas, cresidas, etc. They look better than the dull black ones used on the trucks.

I suggest bringing a 6-pack of any tasty beverage to the TECHS at a Toyota dealership and ask for some lugnuts.
They take them off of new cars all the time when they install wheel locks.

I bought some that look like these.
They work just fine on the factory steel rim that I use for my spare. And just as well on my after-market aluminum rims too. But what do I know?
