Best source for wheel nuts
I just bought my first Lexus, a 2010 RX 350. I wish my first post here was a bit more interesting, but...
I had my mechanic buddy take a look at it and he noticed that the lug nuts were stripped (on the outside corners). He claims they are cheap aftermarket nuts and should be replaced, preferably with lug nuts from Toyota.
If I'm buying from a Toyota dealer, which vehicle uses the same parts? I'm guessing it's the Highlander but that's just a guess. Anyone have a "best" place to buy replacements?

Yes, Toyota Highlander lug nuts will fit just fine and look identical (I've got one on each wheel). Either from Toyota or reputable tire dealer. Mine came from Discount Tire after it was discovered that I was missing the special lug nut 'key' from the PO.

The nuts were stripped or the bolts? Either way, you don't need to go to the dealer for replacements. The nuts are easily found online or any at any tire shop. For what Toyota/Lexus will charge you for bolts, you can likely get some Adamantium after market versions
