    I bought some US made aftermarket black lug nuts. The portion that fits into the rim is 1mm less in diameter than the original one. Seems this could allow the wheel to rotate back and forth slightly. Ok to use or find something else?

    You're fine with those. Your wheels are hub centric so they aren't going to move.

    Are the new ones 14x1.50 or 12x1.50?

    They are supposedly made specifically for Toyota alloy wheels by Venom wheels.

    Strange that they're different sizes on the outside.
    But Greg was right, you'll be fine.
    The lug nuts don't have to fit tightly in the hole to do their job.
