| Junkyard/Auto Wrecker for lug nuts
I know Mitchell Island have a bunch of Auto Wreckers, do you guys just randomly walk into one, or you guys have good ones you would recommend?
i need a set of these: 
i can't justify paying $3-6 a piece for these OEM lug nuts. fuck
i just need these for cheap, in any working condition is fine.
i bought a set of honda civic ones for my steelies, and they were only $1 each. so that was pretty good, but I had to dig through 200+ random lug nuts for 30 mins.... i don't want to do that again.. any place that's more "organized"?

the last time i misplaced my lug nuts (couldn't find them the day i needed to swap to snow tires) i went to my (toyota) dealer and asked if they had anything leftover they didn't need, and to my surprise they had a box of old lug nuts that had minor issues like chrome pitting, etc. and they sold to me what i needed for $1 each... maybe you could try that?

He needs those specific nuts because he has stock wheels. Those ricer nuts have a tapered edge and WILL NOT work properly with his wheels unless he wants his wheels to fall off like a certain red RX7.

Best to check on the old Toyota boards.
Most wreckers will leave them in the trunk or back seat.

those are called "shank" lug nuts. go to advance and ask alex to order you some. most stock toyotas use these.
the ones u will find at the junks will most likely be warn out or rusted out.
what u are looking for, to be exact, if its for a toyota, is a 21mm 12x1.5 shank style nut. oem sizing no longer than 0.9" long

I want them as cheap as possible. like $1 each.  | |
