    You changed out steelies for alloys? Did you happen to reuse the conical or spherical seat style nuts on the Toyota alloy rims? AFAIK, the Toyota alloys all require mag seat nuts. The wrong type nuts will quickly come loose which, nedless to say, is a really bad thing out on the road. Go to a tire shop right away and have it looked at before somebody gets hurt or killed.
