You might want to try a local parts store or some of the larger chain tire shops. They usually have them and should be much cheaper than through the dealer.

hey guys well there is a cheaper alternative and I ended up getting it. $20 canadian for 25 lug nuts!! any toyota with alloy wheels from around the mid eighties to the present has these lug nuts. Trucks have the same one except the nut is taller so i stuck to cars. I headed to the junkyard this morning with my 17" optional wheel and my tire iron. I walked my way over to the tire/wheel shop of a junkyard and asked for pontiac vibe lug nuts. Unfortunatley the guy didnt know what a vibe was so he pointed me to all his coffee cans filled with lug nuts. I asked for the toyota ones and he pulled out a few cans full. I matched a set from an 89 camry with alloy wheels and made off with 25 of them for $20 cdn!!! look at your local junkyard guys because its a common lug
