$22 for a lugnut? Maybe $0.22.... Should have told him where he could stick his $22 lugnut.

Maybe the P.N. is for a five-pack? Still a lot, but...

I found a part number for the lugnuts that go to the aluminum wheels.it is 88972745. Called the dealer and the price is 10.50 each. You can get them at the GM parts direct website for $6 and some change.Ed

It is true!!!I'm back from my dealer and the wheel nuts are $22 each!I took a look at a Corolla S in the parking lot and the wheels nuts seems to be the same. I'll call Toyota dealer to check price of wheel nut for Corolla and Matrix.For sure it cannot be more expensive then the GM ones.

Get a set of McGuard Mag standard shank locks for $25, get 4 mag washers $1. Place on wheels, take three extra wheel nut, place in bin below shifter $free, not having to buy a $22 dollar until I'm dumb enough to lose three more....Priceless

Its a pretty complicated wheel nut as wheel nuts go, and seeing as it is still a proprietary part looks like we will pay through the nose for the really important part. Look for Raybestos to have one soon!

I take that back. I searched for the info and I've gotten conflicting information. One source says M12-1.25 while another says M12-1.5If I find out for sure I'll let you know.

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier but I checked the bag that my wheel lock lugs came in and it says the lug size is M12-1.5, so you're OK after all.
