Where can I buy a lugnut for a 1999 RX300?
When I bought my RX300 from the past owner, it didn't come with a lugnut lock.
So when I went to change my brakes, my mechanic shop had to break off each one of them from each wheel.
So for the past few months, I've been driving with 4/5 lugnuts on each wheel.
Now I want to know where can I buy them? The Lexus dealership is charging me $13 per, but I'm pretty sure there are cheaper ones out there.
Thank you.
P.S. Theres no problem if I drive with 4/5 lugnuts on each wheel, right?
Thanks

I don't suggest driving with 4/5 lug nuts.
I'd suggest buying them from Lexus. You can buy them at any auto parts store but they suck, the Lexus lug nuts are of much better quality. The one's at the local auto parts' stores are just nuts with caps on them. And they are a pain to get off sometimes, usually the cap breaks off or they deform.
Also, just so you know. You can get a replacement lock key for the star lock lug nut from Lexus. I broke my lugnut key once, and bought a replacement at Lexus which I used to remove all of the lock lug nuts and replaced them with normal lug nuts.

I would go to an auto parts store. I dont even run a locking nut on my rims. they are stock rims and no one wants them. I do however suggest that you get them asap. I have been reading up on warped rotors and our cars and improper torque of the lugnuts is said to warp the rotors. I would guess one missing may be just as bad.
