So the wheel lug nut snapped in two on my passenger side rear wheel. Can I replace it with a regular lug? Or do I need to buy a new wheel set lock????
Any help would be appreciated.

Dealership wants $49.00 for a new set. New set? or replace with Lug.

Is it just the normal OEM lug nut? Not the locking lug correct?

When you say snapped, did you mean the stud snapped with the lug on it?

It it's just a lug nut, they should have plenty lying around. They should be able to hand you one at no cost.

No, it did not snap with the stud in it thank god. But it is the locking lug nut. So right now I put the new tires on, but I am missing a lug. So I was curious if I need to buy a new 4 piece lock set, or can I just replace my missing one with a regular lug nut and not have a lock on that tire at all.

You can use a regular lug nut no problem
