need new lug nuts? switching to factory 16 aluminum wheels

Hello,
Sorry if this question was answered previously someplace. I bought used factory 16" wheels off ebay to replace my steel wheels on my 2011 base tacoma 4x4. I plan on getting some snow tires for these and run them in the winter and keep my original steel wheels and tires for the summer.

Do I need new (different) lug nuts for the aluminum wheels? If I dont run TPMS sensors, will it case a problem other than the annoying light that will come on?

Thanks for any help

 

Yes you will need shank and washer style lug nuts for the alloy wheels.

 

Thanks, does anyone have a set they want to sell? i can imagine they arent cheap

 

$8 a piece? ouch! I think ill sell the wheels before I pay almost $200 for lug nuts! Thats crazy! Guess I'll look for some take off steel wheels.....

 

$2 each with a quick google search. I bet you can find them cheaper than that even
