Wheel nut questions...
Hi guys, I am hoping that some of the more Subaru-technically gifted amongst us can aid me in the following couple of questions.
Firstly, I am looking at purchasing these -> Light FORGED T WHEEL NUTS SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI GC8 GDB JDM M12 x 1.25 | eBay so was wondering if anyone had ever purchased them before and could give feedback? They seem to be very well priced for how light they are so just curious if this could be a "too good to be true" ebay sell... Secondly, during my researching I noticed that it seems as though certain wheel nuts will only suit certain wheels due to the mating surface; so my question is -> Does anyone know if the nuts in the link will mate nicely (no metaphor intended ) with my 02 wrx rims? Thanks in advance for any help provided

That's a good deal, expect to pay around $150 for Rays wheel nuts. I'm not sure if either of those come with a lock-nut for each wheel but the Rays do.

get the KKR's or McGard's. The rays dont hold their colour very well and round too easily in my experience....

As said KKR's + McGard's if you dont want to spend too much. Even brands like RAYS + Project Kics have entry level sets that wont set you back a fortune (eg; the entry level Kics are $139. Pretty cheap imo).
Give Wei @ Vision R a buzz/email or check out the website VisionR.com.au Those ones from eBay dont look like they come with lock nuts. May seem pedantic but you'd be surprised at what people will steal these days.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, always a bit sceptical of ebay bits n bobs, especially if they are car related.
Leaning towards the KKRs at this stage, good price and good to know other forum members use+recommend them anyone know if they come in different colours though...??
