i got my set of locknuts from some guy for $20 cash
i think it was mcguard, it was suppose to be oem accessories for toyota (according to the package)
but if it costs $80 then i wont get them at all...they can steal my rims if they want.
check wal mart, they might sell some cheaper lock nuts

Personally, I have always used either Gorilla or McGuard lugs. I think they do a really important job, holding your wheels on your car is serious business.

Spline drives are really cool for tuner lugs, and McGuard makes a nice set for hidden lugs.

anybody looking for spline drive lug nuts i got a set(16 lugs w/key). $40. pm me if interested.

NOTE: these are NOT the same lugnuts i have for sale in the "CANADA FOR SALE FORUM". the ones in the forum are tuner lugs with a hex key.

They're a steal if they're forged aluminum, otherwise you can find them on ebay for cheaper. Spline, hex, short, big, black, long, & hard...
