Stupid question, but coming from the Euro-side where all we worry about is lug bolt length and if it's cone or ball seat was much easier, just seems like there's a bit more thought put into lug nuts...

Currently running stock wheels on my LS, but some of the wheels are missing one lug. Was going to drop some cash on a set of Bersaglio Crystal Lugs I found, just hide them under the OEM caps till I buy a set of wheels end of the year... However, I did some reading up and from what it looks like, OEM wheels require mag lugs or whatever, some sort of sleeved lug nut with a washer?

After reading that, I remembered what type of lugs were on the car currently, and they're just some run of the mill generic chrome cone seat lugs I think the PO picked up at AutoZone or something.

So, with that said, should I just find a cheap set of OEM style lugs with the sleeve and washer for now or would I be safe to just get Bersaglio crystals?

Thanks guys.

 

aftermarket acorn-style lugs won't work with oem wheels.

on the plus side, the oem lugs off just aobut any lexus/toyota sedan/coupe produced in the past 20 years will fit w/o issue. craigslist will help. a brand new set isn't that much either (from a toyota dealership)

 

Thanks for the info. I should probably trash these cheap cone seat lugs the PO put on... Probably what's causing some of my vibration issue.

 

correct, i would def get the OEM lugs with the sleeve and washer as the OEM wheels are not a conical seat design. in other words, where the lug nuts mate is NOT conical.

 

Yeah, I just ordered a set of 07 Prius lugs... They look right and they are M12x1.50.
