Angry Arrgghh..lug Nuts!

OK, I have a problem. I got my steelies put on today and the place that put them on said they had lug nuts for them. When I picked the FJ up, the lug nuts for the alloys were on the steelies! They don't even fit right. Anyways, they said they were fine for the time being and if I buy the right nuts, they will put them on for me.
Anyone know where I can get some quick?! Black or Chrome...

Thanks!

Re: Arrgghh..lug Nuts!

whoaa..not good.

search for "gorilla lug nuts" or something like that..I found the thread about a week ago and you could order steelies and the lug nuts...maybe those will fit? maybe not? it's worth a look I guess.

Since the alloy lugs are a flat seat lug, then I'm assuming that you need a conical seat lug? McGard, Gorilla....many other makes as well.

??? Run away, run away!

The lug nuts for alloys are flat, and steelies must have conical lug nuts to seat and tighten. Do NOT use the old lug nuts even temporarily.

You've got a PM, but as others have already said, Gorilla makes great acorn conical lug nuts that will fit, including black chrome ones.

Re: Arrgghh..lug Nuts!

Thanks everyone. I am starting my hunt for 'gorilla nuts' right now, haha.
I haven't found anywhere local that has them.
