I lost a lug nut.......

This sucks. I just bought a set of lug nuts this weekend and I've already lost one. I must have not tightened them well enough. I bought a set of MUTEKI Forged Light Weight Compact Size Super Tuner Nut. I am wondering if anyone knows where or knows someone that sells lug nuts by the piece. Otherwise, I am S O L and may have to buy another set of 20.

Thanks guys.

In the meantime, I'll be

How much did you torqued it to? The torque specs for the lugs on the 8 is different than a regular car.

yep, places will almost NEVER sell them by the onesies.

You might want to consider searching honda forums or something because some cars only utilize 16 nuts but they come in a set of 20. Some owner might have 4 spares lying around. That's what id try.

it wont be easy but it is an option

The stud threading on the Hondas are different than ours.

that's why i said or something, i dunno off the top of my head what the threads are for each manufacturer but whatever one uses the same as mazdas, he might be able to find some owners who have spares. Hell maybe even miata owners might have some, first gen

any car that only has 4 lugs per wheel would be a possible candidate

You know whats funny? I use to have the EXACT same lugs and I also lost one (passenger side rear.) Maybe its a flaw in the lugs because I torqued them to spec.

If it happens to be black and open ended PM me your address and I'll mail you one.

If anything else just take this as an opportunity to buy a set of locks. May sound silly but try posting a WTB as well - many people prefer to use 16 lugs + 4 locks and will have some extras lying around.
