Default prius lug nut

I'm sure this is in the forums somewhere, but I've been searching for awhile and I still couldn't find it. What size are the OEM lug nuts on an '07 prius? 21mm seems right, but I want to be sure before I buy one.

Just curious, but why do you want to buy a lug nut?

They are Toyota specific and pretty pricey. I believe Gorrila sells them so you can go to their website and look up your car.

Perhaps he means he's buying a socket for his lug nuts... and not the lug nut itself?

you can't find identical replacement lug nuts for the Prius, the $2 ones they sell at the dealership aren't as nice looking as the Japanese factory lug nuts.

These don't appear too bad.

Gorilla Toyota lug nuts.

Are they different than these?

it's 21mm, or 7/8; 6-sided

either will work

get a clicking torque wrench. Checker sell's a nice one with 1/2 drive for 35 bucks. Stay away from the gauge type, unless it's very high quality.

use 76-80~lb torque

Actually, 13/16 is a better fit than 7/8.
