Good point! Important to use the correct lug nuts on these Toyota alloy wheels.MrWhoopee wrote:Hey, those are my wheels! Did you get the correct lug nuts for those?
X2 on that suggestionDavicof wrote: I'm thinking of putting my summers on these, and running the base steelies for the winters next year.
Those alloys look too nice to have the salt/brine destroy them with our winter driving. Steelies next winter and get yourself some good summer rubber to go on these!Thanks for the lesson. Getting my stock nuts to seat on those rims was tricky, but they tightened down okay. Seeing your pictures made me curious about the differences, so I googled for more info.MrWhoopee wrote:Hey, those are my wheels! Did you get the correct lug nuts for those?
The nut on the right is correct for those wheels.
Looks good. How hard is it to replace the center cap? I found a similar thread that says caps aren't the same size. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=30129MrWhoopee wrote: I picked up a set of New Beetle alloys with studded tires for mine.
Yes, those appear to be the correct nuts. I assume that Toyota used the large washer to provide more contact surface with the alloy, possibly due to a strength issue. I would not run those wheels with a cone-seat nut, they may fracture and fail.Davicof wrote: These look like they'll fit right. http://www.canadiantire.ca/content/cana ... okoScYrKM8
