WTB: lug nuts with flange

[DHC6twinotter]

Hey folks.

I'm looking for a set (24) of lug nuts for my 5th gen Tacoma rims I have.

The nuts look similar to the bottom ones in this picture:

Thanks! :D

I maybe wrong but aren't the 2 different types shown for rims that are either hub-centric vs. lug-centric?

Last time I had to buy lugnuts (about 10 years ago) I found my best deal for exactly what I needed at 4wheelparts. I typically do not do business with them but they had what I needed for much less than anyone else.

I think the top one is for rims that are lug-centric. I dunno about the bottom, but would guess it would be for hub centric rims.

I have the top kind that went with my MT classic rims (which had a beveled hole), but now I think I need the bottom kind to go with my Tacoma rims I bought (which don't have a beveled hole). I think. :D

I'll check 4wheelparts. Thanks!

4wheelparts appears not to have them, as well as Pep Boys and Advanced Auto.

AutoZone has them for $2.00 each, and the local dealership said they could get me some for $3.00 each.

These add up quick, so I'm still looking for some cheaper. Thanks folks.

Lug nuts aren't necessarily a good deal. A couple three bucks is fine but you have to buy a bunch. I'd try a tire shop near a dealer. They're usually the ones that do the take offs.

[DHC6twinotter]

Yeah, a guy I know at the local Toyota dealer said they usually have a stock pile of lug nuts that are leftover from when they put aftermarket wheels on their Tacomas. They only had a couple when I was there though. He gave me one and said Merry Christmas. :D

:laugh: When I went to steel rims I went to the tire shop to get just regular lug nuts, he laughed and said it was going to be almost $50, I was :eek: They let me take home two buckets of take off lugnuts to see if I could find a matching set with the right thread and everything. I spent an hour sitting in the driveway seeing which ones fit and which ones didn't. I don't have a matching set, but each side is matching. :laugh: I figured you can't see the other side so you won't know. :laugh:

:lol: I've got two different kinds on there now. Plus I'm missing a couple. :tapedshut:

I got these: http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/gor68138l.jpg

Didnt work to well with my aftermarket rims, but did work ok with stock rims. I wanna sell them and have a whole set. They have alittle wear from me putting them on with my impact gun and then removing them. They were on the truck for maybe 5 miles before i decided they were causing the rims not to seat right.

[DHC6twinotter]

Thanks CJM, but I don't think those will work. The Tacoma lug nuts have a washer type of deal that seats down on the face of the rim. Thanks though! Wish those were what I needed. :thumbup:

[CJM]

Well I tried, they are worthless to me, cause my rims to not seat right due to the fact that not all of them would seat flat.
