Nice find they look correct I know there is a few guys that have got the Toyota lugs so Im sure they will chime in on the quality. If mine start to go I may have to go the Toyota route for 26 bucks cant beat that.

I have the factory Toyota one-piece chrome lug nuts on my wife's 2004 Lexus RX330 AWD. Outstanding quality, no rust, and they hold up very well. If this ebay offer is indeed for the OEM Toyota lug nut, I highly recommend them....

Great find! If these are in fact good to go for our S-types I'm all over these. $26 bucks can't be beat!

I'm in the UK ..... my nuts are a bit beaten up with use - probably tyre fitters being ape fisted with the wrenches If these do fit correctly I will try to find the same in UK ..... as this is a SERIOUS saving on price
Lets hear from some one who has them fitted sucessfully

Searched the toyota nuts in the UK ebay ...... £40 so you guys are definitely getting a bargain -- I will keep looking. These flat faced nuts seem to attract a premium price

The thing about ebay is you have to read every single word on the page.

Those look exactly like the Dorman lugs that someone else says rusted in 6 months.

That's why there was no warning against them. That particular seller seems to specialise in takeoffs.

The problem with the auction site for all things weird and wonderful is the sheer number of quick buck artists to be found over there.

Stainless steel finish????? WTF is that?
$26 bucks for 24 nuts? Who made these? Run Forest run ...

Gorilla nuts has the same Lexus style which fit the car perfectly and a they are a well known brand here. You can find them for $50-60$ on Ebay. Mine are OK so far but I didn't drive in the salt this winter but the car was outside.

Probably just a wording thing. If they are genuine Toyota parts they won't rust .. period.

The vendor of that particular listing seems to specialise in either takeoffs or NOS parts. Just click through their "other items" link.

They're stainless steel or just a slip over cover like the Jag OEM nuts?

If they're real stainless and Toyota oem grab them and let us know once they arrive if they really are stainless.

Good man! We needed a guinea pig. When are they due to arrive? We will expect a full report, pictures and perhaps a how to fit lugnuts video.
