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
