Stolen Lug Nuts

Whats up .. I don't know if they got stolen or were loose and fell off .. but magically i am missing 2 lug nuts on my left right wheel .. how safe is it to drive around like this? Also, the nearest acura dealership is far away.. so can i just go to honda and get lug nuts from there?
Thanks.

pull one off another wheel so at least you have 3...and get the lug nuts anywhere...any rim and tire shop will do...theyre like a buck each...

Good idea G-UNIT

Last week I had to take mine to the dealership to have 3 studs replaced. I had to do this because Dicount Tire cross treaded/ shreaded them and I was unable to put the lugs back on. So, I had to drive to the dealership with only 2 lugs on my passengerside front tire. The service guy didn't try to discorage me from driving over there. He just said drive slow and don't drive crazy. The drive was only about 10 miles or so. At least Discount payed to the bill.

So, if you just don't drive crazy or anything and you should be fine getting to the dealership.

If you have the acura wheel locks, you should have four extra lugs anyway. Just use those.
