Default Need help finding a lost wheel nut

One of my wheel nuts disappeared! >
I dont want to have to replace the whole lot; anybody know where I can get one of these, or something very similar:

I can't find any tpi nuts that have the logo embossed on the face of it
These ones are 35mm long / M12 x 1.25

i’ve found it , sorry wrong one , on a serious note do you already have a set of locking wheel nuts on it ? if not then what about that rather than replace it would blend in better with the car , option 2 find a similar looking nut and take it to an engravers

Yeah, I already got locking nuts: one on each wheel.
The engravers idea is an option I hadn't thought of though. I did look at getting a complete new set of something different, but couldn't find anything that I think will actually look better on the car

Buy a new set of tpi locking wheel nuts in the same style you have, that way you are only buying 4 instead of the whole set

But don't forget to change the locking nuts on the other wheels

Could you not find out who TPI are and contact them direct for one?

Cheers for the link, I actually ordered a set of STi Mcgard nuts yesterday. But I'm definitely gonna contact the tpi guys and see if I can complete my current set, at least I'll have a complete, decent set of spares.
