Lug Nuts

McGard is my go to. I have set from them on my Mustang and my mom's Fusion. Put them on before the Ford lugnuts did Ford lugnut things.
If you plan on keeping the Toyota more than 3 years, McGard without a doubt.
Otherwise, cheapos from amazon will do the trick.

McGard stuff is good. The ‘OEM’ wheel locks on our Kia are McGard, fwiw.
I've used Amazon lugs with no problem. There are certainly name brands that are a good choice as well.
If this is the style with the 'sheet metal overlay', your best bet is to just get solidly made ones.
The sheet metal cap always turns into deformed garbage, no?
Seriously, all the ones I've ever seen perish.
Also, as a point of humor, there's a battle cry about McGard locking lug hardware on the Volvo fora....and that is to remove the McGards while you still can. Either they rust up or the key contours crumble away.
Again, these are bolts. McGard's lug nuts might be good in that REGARD <<get it, get it?

These White Knight lug nuts I got for the Sienna seem to hold up pretty well. $50 for the full set from NAPA. Can’t complain.
‘23 Toyota Sienna XLE Hybrid
32,380 miles / 4,780 miles OCI
Out/In: Pennzoil Platinum 0W20 / YZZN1 Filter
Off: Factory Lug Nuts
On: White Knight Chrome Plated Lug Nut 12 mm x 1.50 Lug nuts NEA 153074
Took advantage of the sunshine and warmer temp. Preemptively replaced all the factory two piece lug nuts with single piece. Some of the factory Yokohamas are looking pretty rough. I’ll be picking up some new tires at DT real soon.

I will say in some ways the (inexpensive import) lugnuts for Toyota alloys are "safer" in that there's no taper about which to worry.
With countersinks if the angles don't match the lugs will likely not hold proper tension. And while I have not seen it, it would never surprise me to see the Chinese miss the angle by a couple degrees on a side, which would theoretically be a BIG deal.
