Are different shape nuts ok for the wheel and overall safety?
I own a 2012 Toyota Camry LE, My mechanic changed 3 of the nuts to aftermarket ones, as seen in picture, the 2 identical nuts are factory ones and the other 3 are new ones he put, should I change them so all 5 look same? and if so, which ones should I change them to, the factory ones or aftermarket?
I do know that all bolts are same, but the nuts are as shown in picture, I looked up online and got mixed answers, chatgpt said its ok as long as the nuts are tight and on properly the size/shape doesn’t matter especially when bolts are same size.
I still do feel like all 5 should be same, looking for professional advice on this as I dont have much knowledge on this topic.
