My McGard wheel lock has finally gotten chewed up after a recent visit to a "repair" shop. I would like to switch the locks over to regular lug nuts, but the cost seems a bit high for just four of them. A new lug nut from Toyota is $10!

What do you guys recommend and what would be my best bet for getting a hold of them?

Ebay if your friend, something like these. Those are just the 1st ones that popped up in a search you can probably find the same thing cheaper.

The $10.00 Price does not seem right.

I paid $4.00 CDN, (About $3.50 US) for a lug nut at my local Lexus Dealer a few months ago.

I'm in Canada, and In the USA it should be even cheaper. So double check the price, maybe with another Lexus/Toyota Dealer.

I was looking for factory replacements, as I have heard of bad experiences with aftermarket lug nuts.
I will double check.

p.s.: Called my local Lexus dealer and they were $12 each.

Call a Toyota dealer and ask for a price on 90942-01058 the list is $5 (in Canada).

I installed Gorilla lug nuts on my Dodge Hemi and love them...... No rust and very well made.
I know they make them for Lexus vehicles and are a lot less than $12 a nut.

Not sure if they're the same but sewell sells them for 5.62 each. Can also confirm they are about 10-12 dollars per from a Lexus dealership. Wanted to do the same thing couple of months ago and remember them wanting about 50$ for the 4. Still have yet to get some... Was going to consider going to a local pick and pull and see what it might cost.

The good thing is that this part number was used on multiple vehicles. I found a used set of five for around $20 - best deal so far. Dorman apparently makes them as well, but the cost from RockAuto comes out to around $20 as well.

I just have one problem, I was able to loosen and remove 3 out of 4 wheels locks, before the key got completely stripped. They really overtightened all of my lug nuts. So now I have 4 out of 5 lug nuts on three of my wheels. I tried hammering a socket onto the lock, but it just kept spinning without moving the lug nut.

NAPA sells a wheel lock removal socket for $11.50 or if you have AAA call them and tell them you have a flat tire and "lost" your key.......... The AAA guy has a removal tool on the truck.

Just purchased five lug nuts from eBay.

Quick tip: if you're looking for the same part on eBay, type in "used lexus lug nut" to avoid scrolling through pages and pages of aftermarket parts. Make sure you also filter your results for Used parts.
