Im switching back to my stock TC wheels soon and I only have 16-20 lug nuts because I was using 4 wheel locks at one time, lost the key and had to have them broken off. Long story short I either need 4 standard lug nuts or a new set of wheel locks.
My question is can I just pick up 4 stock lug nuts at any GM dealer that will be an exact match to the ones that come on the car or would I have to buy an entire set?
Or should I just buy a set of 4 wheel locks? Are wheel locks really that necessary? I cant imagine someone coming to my driveway in the middle of the night and stealing my wheels...

 

a set of locks at a parts store would probably be cheaper than getting lugs at the dealer, but if you went to the dealer they should give you the exact one that are on the car.

 

Wheel locks seemed expensive. I was seeing them around $40. Im assuming a full set of lug nuts would be around the same price too. Which is why I was hoping to just buy 4 lug nuts because I cant see that costing too much, but I wasnt sure if its easy to find those exact ones at a parts store or dealership or if they are a rare style of lug nut. Never really had to buy lug nuts before.

 

not too sure. i bought my black steel lugs with locks for $30. i notice you are in Canada, so maybe thats why there seems to be a difference.

 

my guess is they'll be expensive at a dealer. You should probably be able to find something at an auto parts store that will work, but it won't be the exact same shape or external size though. As long as it threads on the lugs correctly and is small enough to fit in the lug nut wells in the wheel you'll be ok.

When I ordered a new set of wheels online they sent me a set of lugnuts that fit. They look different from the stockers, but the thread on fine. They're smaller than the stock lug nuts too, so they definitely fit in the holes in the wheels.

 

I just ordered a set of wheel locks on e-bay for $13
