    what would cause the nuts on one wheel (all 5) to keep coming loose lol. im guessing its the crappy ebay lug nuts on the 7th gen gts wheels but its only on one of the wheels! meh my torque wrench is on my passenger seat for when it starts to vibrate lol

    only thing I can think of, is something is out of balance and causing excessive vibration?

    Check everthing that rotates starting with the wheels.

    If that yeilds nothing maybe try some Lock-tite?

    dear god don't lock tight it. my guess is you got the wrong lug nuts. should be 12x150. is that what you have?

    there isn't any anti-seize on the lugs? other lube type items?
    just a thought...

    Proper toyota bolts would help - I can sell you a set for cheap if you're willing to wait while they get shipped out there.
