Lug nuts at local part store?

anyone know any part store that carries decent lug nuts? i went to autozone and bought their spline drive lug nuts and thought they all be the same..spend $30 and recently i tried to rotate my tires at my shop...most of the lugs came off expect for like 6...i was able to get them off but what happen was those lugs were so cheaply made that the thread weld itself to the stud..i was able to use tap and die and fix 1 but the rest of the studs are chewed up and i can't get any new lugs on there so im getting new studs....anyone any part store carrys decent lug nuts instead of autozone or advance?? one of my wheel is held down by only 3 lugs so i dont want to drive around like this for another day...i would order some good ones online but i dont think i could wait few days for it to arrive and drive around with only 3 lugs.....i drive average 60 miles back and forth for work...thanks...

I was wondering the same thing, I really need a decent set of lugs but didn't want to wait a week to get them

Buy some nice McGard ones online, lug nuts are nothing something to cheap out on! Remember though, you can only use OEM Mitsu lug nuts with the stock wheels (Enkei and BBS).
