thanks for posting! good looking out for people who want to pick up a set of RW wheels!

and the truck looks awesome!

 

I see you are in Oregon. You should have gone to Les Schwab. I went there because I too bought a set of Rock Warrior wheels with no lugs and they had the 14mm Spline Drive lug nuts in stock and I did not have to have a locking lug nut either. All 20 lugs and the socket for $50. Just another suggestion for those looking into this.

 

Same here in Nevada. I've purchased a couple set of used RW wheels without the wheel nuts. I went to my local Les Schwab and confirmed they had nuts and a socket that would work when I'm ready to sell a set of wheels and the buyer might need lug nuts. At least Schwab is one, cheaper option.

 

I went to 3 different Les Schwab's. That is where I got the tires for the RW wheels. None of the 3, nor Discount/America's Tire, or Big O , or Ok Tire. I did have one place offer to sell me a whole new set of lugs but is was for more money than just paying Toyota the $53 for a set of 5 with the wrench. Ironically, the guy I bought the wheels from called me 2 days after I put the new wheels and tires on. He had found the key and the lug socket. The next day I got the spare I had ordered from McGard so now I have 3 lug sockets. Anyone want one? PM me.

 

I am surprised they didn't have the lugs to begin with. I am happy you finally got them and put the wheels on. Makes a big difference in the look of the truck.

 

FWIW I bought a TRD lug kit online for $51 that came with 5 lugs & a spare socket.
Inside the package was card for ordering from McGuard like RonaldJay suggested. It also listed other color spline lug nuts.

I am going to take off the lock key lug nuts & use these.
There is no les schwab in VT & all the auto parts shops cater mostly to domestic vehicles.

Also took the suggestion to plasti dipped lock key & socket. TY!
It was my first ever using plasti dip :lol5:
No damage to the rims from my installer who is a friend.

Great job! I didn't know about the colored caps. I need to look into that. Thanks.

...WAY TO LOOK OUT, Brother. Good quality post for RW Wheel owners. I'm going to order an extra socket with that same order form you posted. Question though; when you buy the full installation kit/with socket, does it come with 16 lugs and 4 locks, or 20 lugs and 4 locks (leaving you with 4 spare lugs)? Or, no spare lugs and the locks take the place of the lugs?

 

where have you guys been able to find rock warrior wheels?

 

...Toyota Parts Zone.com

http://www.toyotapartszone.com/

RW Wheels: Toyota Part Number: PTR45-34070 $384.30 ea.

Install kit:
Toyota Part Number: PTR27-60110 $158.60

or, this place: - can't vouch for it, never used it:

http://www.oempartworld.com/index.php?route=product/search&keyword=PTR45-34070

Installation kit: TRD Wheel Installation Kit 14mm Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Tundra

What I would do, print out these prices and take them to a dealer parts dept. and ask them to match...then, you save on shipping costs.

When I had my alignment done the key actually broke and the toyota dealership ordered a new set but it was a different key even though it was the exact same part number, I'm guessing there are a few of them out there to prevent theft. Anyways the shop was able to remove it with their master keys and I did have all my lugs and 4 key locks replaced but I hate them because the it's not a matter of if it will break its a matter of when it will break.

 

Just replace the lock lug with a RW lug. Looks better anyway.

It's not the key that causes the damage to the rim but the socket that is used to turn it. For lock key.

I wanted to pass this information along since I am seeing Rock Warrior wheels showing up for sale here, on Ebay, and Craigslist. I recently posted I had purchased a set of Rock Warrior wheels with lugs and locks off Craigslist. Unfortunately I did not get the socket key or the lock key for the lugs and locks with the setup. First off, if you don't get the lock key you may as well toss the locks because you are not going to get a key so that you can use them. Besides, another member advised me they strip out and then you're stuck anyway. If you can't or don't want to use the locks you will need to come up with 4 lug nuts to replace them. A member on here offered to sell me 4 lugs at a great price but I still needed the socket. I tried every tire and wheel shop around and everyone of them just scratched their heads and said it was a dealer only item. One shop had at least 50 different splined sockets but none of them fit.

I ended up going to the dealer. If you don't get the lug nuts with the wheels you can buy a set of 16 plus 4 locks with both keys for just under $200. The only way to get a socket key is to buy a set of 5 lug nuts with a key for list $72. My dealer sold me a set for $53. Sparks wants I think $52.

The lug nuts and locks are made by McGard, it sez so right on the nut. I called McGard customer service and they were very helpful. They said they would ship me the splined socket to fit the Toyota Rock Warrior lugs for $18.75 which included shipping. They come out of New York and take 7-10 days to get. I ordered a spare because I thought it was cheap insurance.

I should have also said, these wheels fit very snuggly around the disc brake hub. I was worried that if there were to be any corrosion or grime between the 2 I would not be able to remove the wheel without causing damage or if in an emergency situation, flat tire, I'd be stuck. Being snug is a positive thing because the really centers the wheel to the hub. The stock TRD Off-Road package wheel fits loosely. I had the tire shop put some anti-seize around the hub where the wheel slips over. I'll refresh it everytime I remove the wheels. I am also going to Plasti-Cote the outside of the lug nut wrench to hopefully prevent the paint from being scratched like some members have had happen.

So, if you are buying a set of Rock Warriors make sure you know what you're getting or be prepared to spend some more money just to be able to install them.

For anyone with Rock Warrior wheels. You might want to consider picking up a spare socket because if you loose, misplace, break it, or leave your socket at home and have a flat, NO ONE, will have a socket to take your tire off to fix it. Possibly not even the dealer.

I love the look of these wheels on my truck. It was just a real pain to finally get them installed. They are also much lighter than the stock TRD Off-Road package 18" wheels I took off.

I just discovered that the 2013 Tundra Rock Warrior that I just bought is missing the sockets to remove the splined lug nuts and the wheel locks. Found this post and called McGard customer service. They told me to take a couple of pictures and send them to them and they might be able to match them up. Did so and they called back to let me know that they are very confident that they have the right sockets for me, they are in stock and could be sent out right away. Spline socket was $18.75 and Wheel lock socket was $14.99.

Will post how this works out when I get them.
