portisi Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 My problem - I purchased some 16" wheels off eBay about a year ago. I was told they were authentic Toyota wheels, they were in fact immitations. The more significant problem is they came without lug nuts. I went crazy trying to find nuts that would seat properly. I thought I had found some aftermarket lugs that would work. After a short time I knew something was wrong. I took the lugs off and found that they had scared the mounting holes. They were not the correct lugs. The place I bought them was no help. I was lucky enough to find the address of the manufacturer on one of the boxes and bought a set. My problem now is that in the process of having my winter wheels put on, my garage mixed up my lugs with another set. They were willing to buy me a new set, but I no longer have the address of the place I bought them. What I do know is that when I called the manufacturer they were surprised I had a set of these wheels as they normally only used on an custom Camry that they sell. I want to say they were in Louisiana, or Texas. If anyone knows about these customized Camrys or has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. BTW, what makes these lugs so unusual is the bevel of them is severe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Southeast Toyota sold quite a few Camrys, Corollas, Avalons, etc. with custom paint, and special wheels that aren't really a Toyota part. You may be able to get lugs from a dealer in Florida/Georgia/Louisiana, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
