Default lugnuts??????

I just got a set or rims and i lost one of the lugnuts. Rite now, on one of my rim, i only got 3 lugnuts on. My question is that is it safe to drive with only 3 lugnuts on? Will it harm the car in any way? And by the way my car is 4 lug pattern. Thanks

I think it would be ok to drive it to the dealership or wheel place to get a new lug nut just as long as they're tight, but I wouldn't go anywhere else.....

I only have 3 on my front right side now but they are all torque to 80 and it feels fine, no shaking or anything.

mine feels fine too and its on my right rear rite now, but i'm still kinda worry and i don't know where to get a new set of lugnuts that size. There not the stock lugnuts and there small so i don't know where to get them. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

You could go to Discount/America's Tire Co. and show them what kind of lugnut you need. More often than not, they have the kind of lugnut you need, or direct you to a shop that would carry it.

i broke off one of my studs in the front a long time ago, havent had time to fit it and it really does do anything bad to the car that i noticed, doesnt wabble or anything like that. i dont plan on fixing it until i get my new rims and all new lugs....
on this thing of lugs...do the tuner lugs have a special key so nobody can just take them off w/ a wrench or anything like that. (it is hard to jack them off a car if its sitting in a parking lot)
