I really want a light-weight set to fit my speedline turinis.

However they come with their own nuts that have a small centering flange on the end and i dont know if i can use other wheel buts with em.

On several of the US forums, most of the subaru owners who have gold alloys have black lugs as that is the only colour that suits/goes with gold.

My lugs are quite cool as the silver bit rotates seperately from the black part (the lug), thus not scratching your alloys. Also in that subydude link for these lugs you will see the diagram that shows that the lugs have angled taper where as other nuts and lugs don't. So a perfict fit.

Red lugs for bronze alloys like CE28N's etc...

Blue lugs for anthracite alloys like Pff7's or gunmetal GRA's etc...

Silver for the OEM look

and black for gold alloys

Are those rotors the same as the USDM 02 wrx rotors or smaller? Reason I ask is because I had those V2 wheels on my car with wrx rotors and I had some major rubbing issues on the inside lip of the rim. I had to use spacers so the wheel would actually turn.

Matt they are the same size. One difference however could be that the USDM WRX brake calipers have a bracket to make use of the larger rotor. Where as overseas the WRX calipers are just one piece and bolts to the hub without the use of a bracket. Just a guess tho. Both rotors from the US and overseas are 294x24mm rotors.

cheers

Sold them because I had to run spacers to make them fit and it just didn't seem safe for me to run spacers. That and because I'm an idioth.
