Hi Peter

You may have sorted your problem, but i believe there is a Toyota wheel nut that Fits. I haven't had any problems yet but i really should look into replacing the original wheel nuts.

Regards

Tom

This is correct today i fitted a set of 20 that were made for the lexus fit perfect only difference is they are 21mm nut instead of 19mm 

i had a barain 20 x origional nuts a guy bought never fitted sold the car for 15 quid delivered :)

they seem a better quality 

To get this factory finish

First of all I got 800 wet and dry you then rub around the rough parts and deep rash,

I then got some chemical metal mixed it filled and gouges

I waited for it to dry and the sanded it down to a smooth shape and finish

Then with 800, 1000 1500 wet and dry completely go over the wheel with the papers in the order mentioned

Remove all the dust then get a filler primmer and spray the entire wheel

I then smoothed it all with 1600 wet and dry

I then once again removed all the dust

I then sprayed the wheel with 3 cotes of graphite grey wheel paint

I then left it to dry

I then painstakingly masked of all the new paint leaving the rim and the faces of the spokes exposed for the next process.

I then bought some chrome spray and covered the remaining area.

I then let them dry then slowly and carefully removed the tape

This is the important part please pay attention this must be done to get that factory finish

I then though god they look sh1te, fook this  and bought 4 new wheels from Jaguar
