What kind of lug nuts for alloy wheels

[isabura]

Hey,

So I bought some dorman lock nuts when I bought my 2003 wrx stock wheels back in 2009. I'm satisfied with the way they look right now, but might buy some more aggressize looking ones in the future. I'm getting rid of the lock nuts since the lock key broke, dorman sent another key free of charge, but I'm still getting different lug nuts.

I've read, if you have alloy wheels you need different lug nuts than if you have steel ones, like acorn or open ones and the type of metal. I'm assuming wrx nuts fits a 96bk because I've seen no problem when rotating the wheels.

So what type of lug nut should I get, and, screw autozone, where could I get some good quality lug nuts.

Its for a 96 bk wagon with 2003 wrx stock wheels, which i believe are aluminum alloy

Reason can hook you up with some good nuts. ;)

I've never really heard that you need different ones because of alloy vs. steel wheels. It's more just ones that will fit the design of the wheel. Some wheels with a higher offset need deeper lugnuts or the proper ones to fit in the holes on the wheel. For standard Subaru wheels, I'm pretty sure anything standard would fit fine.

I think it was on nasioc or legacy.com, but someone said certain lug nuts messes up the alloy rims if you change the wheel often a year, like for track days.

Goddammit, I don't know what to say to that, so how much is he selling his nuts for? Wait!
What kind of nuts does he have? Wait!
I'll contact him about his nuts right away, because I want to get my old dirty ones off. Wait!
