Need Help With Lug Nuts

[ryany79]

Okay,

So I bought some 17 inch 4runner sport wheels and am trying to get them onto my 2003 T4R SR-5 V8 (2wd). The wheels that are on my car now have the "acorn" style lug nuts (the rounded or cupped versions if you will). The wheels that I bought require something totally different, but most definitely they require some sort of "flat" configuration.

Here is a pic of the wheels I am trying to mount. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the lug nuts? The guy I bought the wheels from says he may have the lug nuts, but he is not calling me back. I am about to go on a 1,800 mile road trip (this SATURDAY!!) and I need to get these wheels on right now because the ones I have on have bald tires.

YES...I am a noob and I had no idea there were different styles of lugs for different 4runner wheels. Obviously, had I known I would have addressed this issue before buying the wheels.

Any help would be very beneficial. (ps: I am trying to stay away from the stealerships, but will go there is absolutely necessary).

Here is a generic picture of mag wheel lugs. They'd look something like this.

The dealer could help you, but I also suspect that any tire shop would have a few sets in stock too.

yes...they look similar to that. Pepboys has them but they only have a few and they said they can not special order any more in.

The dealership can special order them, and they will cost $7.67 a piece! I am looking at over $200 (with tax) for them.

The guy I bought the wheels from works at a dealership so I guess he is keeping them so he can sell them or something. He won't return my calls and I'm getting pissed.
