| So I bought some black lugs from advanced and finally put them on yesterday only to find their chome painted black. I went to tighten them down and the paint started coming off. Stay away if you can not worth the $40. I'll post a few pictures when I get back home. | |

| Or you should be able to go to a Discount Tire or a shop and pick them up for pretty cheap. | |

| I got a full set of gorilla spline drive lugs including the 3 for the spare when I got my Mickey Thompson wheels for the 07 TRD. They were around $40 shipped from discount tire. I called their online number and ordered over the phone. | |

| Wow, that's some BS right there. I've taken my Gorillas on and off many times with nothing like that. Might be time for a return and an upgrade. | |

| Gorilla is definitely the way to go. I want to get a set for my factory wheels so I need to sell my others. I wil be bringing them to the show along with the Mickey Thompson wheels | |
