Lugnuts for FJ Steelies

I'm looking for some good acorn style lug nuts to mount these steelies on my 3rd gen but I need them ASAP so ordering online isn't an option. Would I come out cheaper going to a tire shop or buying from Napa, Advance, Autozone...etc?

Anybody know the torque spec offhand for a steel wheel?

With any wheel u out it will be 85 for the torque. And try a tire shop they mighty have and old set of toyota lugs so you can keep ur look going. I work at Americas tires and we have a bucket of lugs that we keep just in case.
 
I installed some fj steelies this past week after finding some old acorn style lug nuts I had in my shop. They are open ended which I don't like because it will eventually rust the ends of my wheel studs. Also they are m12 x 1.50 21mm or 13/16" which cause a problem when trying to torque the lugs down because my 21mm socket has a hard time fitting between the center cap and lug nut.

I could get a thin wall socket but I need new lugnuts anyway that cover the studs. What I've been scouring the Internet looking for are m12 x 1.50 19mm or 3/4 but I want to know some good brands. Ive found Dp accessories on ebay. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=121196970182
Are these worth buying? My instincts say no but the stuff I see in auto parts stores says made in China too.
 
Napa carries a few different styles. They actually have an impressively large book full of 12x1.5 lugnuts that they can get, but they only stock a few types. Pick your favorite one from the book, and they should be able to get it to you tomorrow.

Napa is probably expensive though right?
