Lug nut suggestions
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

Re: Lug nut suggestions
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/B00...ms_ohs_product

Re: Lug nut suggestions
I have some gold BBS wheels on mine, and I got a set similar to these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120746140636 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. Last edited by North Ursalia; 04-07-2012 at 08:24 PM. |

Re: Lug nut suggestions
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. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Muteki-SR35-...item27c47c35f8 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.

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