Default Lost a lug nut...

Was driving home last Saturday from the car show at Wild Wings, started feeling some vibrations in the rear. I pulled off to the side of the road and what do you know, my LOCK lug was gone... ( thanks discount tire! ) and all of them were loose. The weird part is it was only on one wheel. (rear, rght - from inside the car)

So, I was curious if anyone had a spare lock lug nut?

Did you check all Of the other wheels? Were they last people to touch your wheels? I would go back explain to them what happened and how you almost had a serious accident and I would make them replaced the nut. Then never go back to them again.

Everybody seems to have a problem with discount tire. I am pretty sure I have an extra.

Yes I checked the rest of the wheels, they are all fine.

The thing is I've had the tires/wheels on my car for a long time.

My experience (not on the S2000) has been that nuts not tightened to the proper installation torque can require some time to back off enough to start causing problems.

They always tell you to come back and get them re-tightened though.
