I Need Lugnuts!

[B 4 You]

I just scored an awesome deal on some 07 STi BBS wheels tonight, and I need lugnuts for them. I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking for, and I will NOT mess with lugnuts. I'd like to get black ones, I don't want anything fancy or locking or whatever. I'd like to keep the price at the most $25, the less the better. Any suggestions?

I have these on both my cars, which both have STi BBS wheels.

They're not black, but they do fit just right. Should at least get you started at least with what sizes you need and stuff.

Do I just need to purchase size M12 x 1.25 thread with a cone seat? Or are there other variables I need to include? I'd much rather have a dull black to match the rims...

If by cone seat you mean the taper at the bottom, then yes. But I think the "acorn" ones also have the taper. As long as the taper is the right angle and they're the right size then you should be alright. Also note that the ones I linked are 21mm socket, not 19 like the stock wheels. So the emergency tool in the trunk won't fit anymore. So now I keep one of these, but 21mm size and a breaker bar in my trunk. Actually I keep the 19mm one too, in case I need to help someone else out.

Oh, and I just remembered, there are supposed to be 5 steel seats for the lugnuts pressed into each rim. One of the wheels in the first set I bought was missing one. Check to make sure they're all there. (This thread has more info: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=54948)

I've read that thread in the past. In the pictures they did have all of those spacers, but I will be sure to check! I bought the black ones, mostly because I hate chrome anything and they will match my wheels much much better. Thanks guys!

Cool. I was tempted to get the "splinedrive" one myself, but I couldn't justify the cost to myself, having just spent a whole bunch of money on the wheels themselves. The black ones will definitely look great though.
