Don't, unless you absolutely know they're going to fit your wheels.

I have the dealership ones sitting on the kitchen counter downstairs because the driver is too big for my wheels. You need to find a set of tuner-locks. Pep Boys sells a decent set of McGuard locks.

Dont get Gorilla locks because any joe shmo can go the local autozone and get the key. Find yourself some tuner lugs.

Just got my McGard lugs and locks today, also from eBay. Nice quality, the floating washer seat is great. The best!

(The lugs and locks on my xB are McGard, I didn't even consider any others - I've been using McGard since I bought my '74 Land Cruiser in December of '73...never had a problem - always bought an extra key.)

I gotta bring this back...
I just picked up a set of TRDs and I just want to know what style lug I need to get. I'm pretty sure it's 12x1.5 but I need to verify the shape.
