I know Mitchell Island have a bunch of Auto Wreckers, do you guys just randomly walk into one, or you guys have good ones you would recommend?

i need a set of these:

i can't justify paying $3-6 a piece for these OEM lug nuts. fuck
i just need these for cheap, in any working condition is fine.

i bought a set of honda civic ones for my steelies, and they were only $1 each. so that was pretty good, but I had to dig through 200+ random lug nuts for 30 mins.... i don't want to do that again.. any place that's more "organized"?

the last time i misplaced my lug nuts (couldn't find them the day i needed to swap to snow tires) i went to my (toyota) dealer and asked if they had anything leftover they didn't need, and to my surprise they had a box of old lug nuts that had minor issues like chrome pitting, etc. and they sold to me what i needed for $1 each... maybe you could try that?

Are you stupid or just a retard? A little of both?

He needs those specific nuts because he has stock wheels. Those ricer nuts have a tapered edge and WILL NOT work properly with his wheels unless he wants his wheels to fall off like a certain red RX7.

Probably not.

Best to check on the old Toyota boards.

Most wreckers will leave them in the trunk or back seat.

those are called "shank" lug nuts. go to advance and ask alex to order you some. most stock toyotas use these.

the ones u will find at the junks will most likely be warn out or rusted out.

what u are looking for, to be exact, if its for a toyota, is a 21mm 12x1.5 shank style nut. oem sizing no longer than 0.9" long

I know where to order them new as well, but they run about $50-100 bucks locally, and about $35USD down in the states.

I want them as cheap as possible. like $1 each. :p

thanks guys!
just bought some at Alta on Mitchell Island $2.66 each. fucker tried to sell me rusty ones and open end ones. then i bitched and finally he gave me some decent ones.

i think i got jibbed, but oh well.

called up toyota, apparently they sell them for only $3 a piece. wtf
but i need to wait for shipping + tax, so who knows how long that's going to take. =/

actually, it shouldnt take anymore than 2-3 days. I ordered a diff oil plug and got it the next day, but this was at Lexus.

it's alright. i just needed some working lug nuts to swap my stock wheels back on.

need to test out the new tires to see if i like it, or else i will have to return it to Firestone in the states under 30 day buy and try. LOL
