Lots of performance shops in Markham should have them in stock.

Oh no no no, I am not being cheap out. I just want to know why the OEM wheel nuts do not fit (You just explained to me).

Regarding the tuner nuts, I know most of them will have the paint chips problems.

I really cannot find a store in Markham selling those Gorilla spline-drive lugnuts. Most of them are selling the Muteki and etc. (the fancy ones).
