question about TRD wheels and special lugnuts that are black

Just picked up some FJ TRD wheels for my tacoma and they came with special looking lugnuts. Im assuming that they have to be used with this type of rim. Im planning on getting the rims powder coated black and am wondering what I should do about getting some black lugnuts to go with the rims. Im not sure if the 2011 fj TRD trail special edition rims ( they are black) come with black lugnuts as well and if they do, im sure Toyota wants an arm anda leg for them so Im not real sure what to do. I cant powdercoat the chrome ones I have because the correct socket wouldnt ever fit on them. Anybody got some ideas?

 

bump

 

I just put the black wheels on and couldn't find any black lug nuts in the style needed, just used the chrome ones. Maybe you could use some black circle stickers to go over the ends.

 

any other ideas?

 

I bought black lugs for my Konig Countersteer Off Roads from jlbmotorsports.com where I got the wheels.

 

I bought some black lug nuts a couple years ago online. Just do a search cause I forgot which website I got them off of.

 

I did a search I guess my question really is do I have to use that type of special lugnut for these rims? I know that the 09 TRD tacoma wheels I have on it now had a weird vibration to them and after I changed from gorilla acorn lugnuts to the correct oem lugnuts the vibe was gone. Im thinking these FJ TRD wheels are the same way

 

Ummm I'm not sure about the FJ rims. I know I had to go with tuner lug nuts for my aftermarket wheels.

 

Here are some black lug nuts....!
Look half way down the page.

 

those are acorn type and thats why my other TRD wheels had a weird vibration

 

Not suppose to use acorn nuts on the FJ Style wheel.

 

I have done a ton of research on the black lugs.

The only black Toyota mag seat lugs I found are Gorilla. I am still trying to find black locks to go with them.

didn't read whole thread so this may be a repeat but you can find the factory type lug-nuts in black on ebay-not sure those are the type the fj's use or you can contact earnhardttoyota.com they sell replica trail teams and the black lugs...or do what i did when i did my factory alloys black and spray the lugs with self etcher then bedliner mine a re holding up through 1 mount and balance and 1 5k rotation so far

 

here's the ebay link

earnhard wants like $7 a lugnut. I found a set on ebay i may end up getting that are the same specs as the gorilla ones but way cheaper. those gorilla ones would run me around $115 plus shipping which is kinda pricy for lug nuts

 

Can't you just get the tips painted to match?

 

I could but after one or two rotatae and balances im sure they would look like crap. I think im going to try out the ebay ones. they are the same specs as the gorilla ones and are less than half the price

 

Good point. And good luck!

 

The ebay ones are the ones i ordered and they seem the same as my factory type i will be putting them on next service when they rotate my tires..are the ebay ones the same as the link i posted or did you find different ones?

 

same ones but a 24 count instead of a 20 count. Its a different link for the 24 count
