yeah, you should be able to get one from the dealer, but it might set you back thirty or fourty bucks.

be sure to tighten your lugs in a star pattern to avoid leaving lugs loose at the end. a torque wrench won't hurt either.

either that, or go to your local tire shop, they should be able to get you another one....personally, I go to Americas Tire Co. They have been really good to me when it comes to stuff like that.

How much do you want for a set of them Seraph? When I got rid of my old rim they had a center cap to cover the open-ended lugs, so I got new ones from Kragen. Theyre big and ugly though. So I wanna replace 'em. Thanks

the key strips if you keep taking the lugs on and off. They're nice and light, but meant to be tossed after a few uses(they're considered racing lightweight lugs or something like that )

The thread size to look for is 12mm X 1.25. I have the box of tuner lugs right in front of me, so I can guarantee it will work.
