    I just bought a set of nightshade wheels that came off a 2021 tundra nightshade edition. I have a 2018 tundra limited. I had the nightshade wheels mounted and balanced. They look great. The problem is when I drive 55 it starts shaking horribly. I used the lugs from my 2018 truck as the 2021 nightshade nuts were not available.

    would the nightshade wheels take a different lug nut than my 2018 lug nut? I am really perplexed. I have had two different shops balance the front wheels for a total of 3 times.

    Welcome from NY.

    The lugs should work, I believe color is the only difference, the limited lugs are chrome and the nightshade lugs are black.

    Do you have a picture of the nightshade wheels?

    If they are balanced they might be something going on with the axle. Are you the original owner of the Tundra?

    Second owner. Had no issue until I changed wheels.
    Both wheels are attached.

    No. I don’t see that live. It could have been a bit of snow.
