I would say Rays Dura Nuts, but they wont work with the stock wheels. They are different from the stock lugs.

I just picked up a new tC and bought the following wheel locks from McGard. My stock lugs have that washer thing on them. When I put the locks on this wheel the conical part goes down into the opening on the rim. I see the Scion brand wheelocks look similar to the OEM lugs. Am I good with these? This part#24157 shows up everywhere as compatible with the 07 tC but I am scared with the way it seems to not kinda fit right.



Thank you for the help.
