    Where's the best place to buy stock style lug nuts (aluminum wheels)? Discount Tire wants $77. I've seen plenty between $30-50. Just want to make sure I'm getting the best deal. I'm putting 3rd gen TRD OR wheels on my 2nd gen and my lugs need to be replaced anyway. Thanks in advance!

    yep..
    Try a search of "tacoma lug nuts" on Amazon. I bet a fraction of the price.

    If you haven't gotten any yet, I'm willing to sell my OEM lugs to you and ship em in a small flat rate box, just ordered new wheels and new lugs.

    I just bought gorillas "the system" for my hutchinsons. Every lug nut is a wheel lock. Was around $100. They are also called mag style lug nuts.

    Are the 2nd gen lug nuts different from the 3rd gen?

    Splines are great! But if you get wheel locks too, then you have to carry around a wheel lock key and a spline drive socket. If all your lug nuts are locks, only need to carry the one key. Also my wheels and tires cost more than $4000, so $100 is cheap insurance :D

    Yea, I ordered the Black Chrome but that picture sure does look like like a painted metal to me. Either way is cool. I don't plan on letting the dealer touch them when I go in for service. I will rotate my own tires from now on!

    Thanks for your replies @Matmo215 & @Tex-Tac
