It wont hurt anything to have it off, but it bothered the heck out of me when it happened. I switched to solid lug nuts that look exactly the same as those so I wouldnt have to deal with replacing them all the time. Cost $29.99 with a new lug wrench that fit, $20 without and that was replacing all of them including the spare. Replacement lugs from the dealer run $5-$7 a piece, I have my old ones if you are interested. |

It won;t hurt anything, but your stock lug wrench might end up stripping it since the diameter is now smaller. I highly recommend getting rid of the stock one and replacing them with aftermarket lug nuts. Even if you get crappy aftermarket pep-boys ones, as long as they are solid metal, they are still better than stock. |

If you want to replace the stock piece sometimes you can complain about the missing cap at the dealership service department to get a free one (or a handfull) |

I went solid as well. Traded in the tires on the first day at Discount Tire, I think he charged me a buck a piece for the solid lug nuts. BTW, many, if not most, manufacturers use these capped lug nuts now. |

I have managed to damage some lug nuts on my '02 KJ Ltd - tore off the little caps when I collided with a Mitsubishi 3000 GT. What is my best choice for replacements? And, does anyone happen to know size and pitch? |

Thanks for the info. At least nobody will accuse me of not using the search feature.
