Anyone have any suggestions for what brand of lug nuts I should get for my STi BBS wheels? I've looked on ebay, but I want to weed out the junk brands before I buy some.
Thanks :)

This is what I'm using. If you use the black "splinedrive" ones, they look cooler, but are too expensive for me.

A little expensive, but still the cheapest non "junk" brand I am aware of. Highly recommended. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006HOW9C/ref=wms_ohs_product

I have some gold BBS wheels on mine, and I got a set similar to these:

and a set of locking lugnuts from that same seller that look very similar. Just as heavy duty as the OEM chrome lugs on my Imprezas.

This is what I have on my car. They look great.

Thanks for the input. I'm looking at closed end, dark colored, non-aluminum ones.

These seem to fit the bill, but I've heard that the finish doesn't last long on Muteki nuts.

Anyone have any experience with Muteki?

Those McGard ones look good too, but I think the chrome would look weird with my gunmetal wheels. And I also don't want to pay that much for the spline ones.

I have seen the spline ones IRL and they look very good...

FYI, I went with the Muteki black spline nuts and they look pretty good and so far my wheels haven't fallen off. :D
