Default Where can I buy the proper length wheel nuts?

The local auto parts stores have replacement wheel nuts but they are 35mm in length. They fit but are recessed too far. Anyone have a link to a better replacement?

For stock wheels or aftermarket? Smart to use stock Lexus lugnuts for the stock wheels.
Parts Dept has new ones, most mechanics have a collection of suitable used ones that
come off when they install wheel locking lugs. Aftermarket wheels I would contact the
manufacturer or store they came from as they likely have different mating surfaces.

Stock. I'm replacing the locking lug nuts (keeping them and the key of course) with regular wheel nuts. I just don't want to go through the hassle and expense of replacing the key should it disappear (AGAIN).

Troll Ebay for used OEM lug nuts, recently I found a nearly new set for about $30. Aftermarket ones are generally junk in my experience. They're good if you don't plan on keeping your car for long.

Here's a used OEM set
