Default Wheel lug nuts 09 rx

Today i got my new rack boot for the p.s it had a two inch split, so i decided to replace it ...took three hours .. the wheel lug nuts were beat to death by impact gun in the past, the tool kit wrench would not even fit, had to hammer it on, studs were so tight it started to bend... I had to hammer a socket on every one of them to take them off using a 20'' breaker bar, then use a chisel using the vise to remove the socket, using bench grinder to re shape the nuts, last time these wheels were off was for new tires, looks about 20k on them... they have that shell on the nuts..

mine are different sizes, it seems, and the tire iron won't fit any of them... so I planned to replace them, not realizing they're weirder than the usual lug. not sure which to get.

New wheel nuts look ok, anyone with a RX that has been to a tire shop, check your tool wheel wrench and see if it fits... picture of beat up nuts and new solid type

same as my stock lugs, including a washer. wheels haven't fallen off yet, so that's good. a little pricey, but it is what it is.
