As long as they flat seated like OEM, suck as the Toyota open-ended versions. You cannot run aftermarket conical-seat lugnuts for safety reason!

As the first person who replied already said, no, you cannot run conical "tuner"-style nuts; they must be flat and should have the correct shank diameter, which means Mitsu or Toyota (and maybe a few others).

The cheapest that I know of are the open-ended Toyota lugs (which are also good if you race under rules that require open-ended to verify lug-depth in the lugs). There are several large Toyota dealers that sell over the web.

There is also eBay, of course. Some people prefer colored lugs: e.g., http://www.ebay.com/itm/12x1-5-Black...sories&vxp=mtr

I guess my question would be, what's wrong with OEM that makes you want something else?
