Default STi wheel nuts

Wanted a set of STi locking wheel nuts but the dealer price of some NZ$900 put me off. Since found a set of 20 for less than a quarter of the price from Japanparts. Arrived on my doorstep a few days after ordering...

Tidy darts.

At least they are the real deal and not some fake chinese or east european tat. The prices for us in the UK should come down once BREXIT happens

I have a set of these that I bought from my local dealer for £90 including the dreaded VAT, I have had these on all my Subaru cars for the last 5 years and you won't get better quality.

Go and speak to your local Subaru dealer, I've got a good relationship with the local parts manager and he always gives me good prices - but I have bought quite a lot of parts off him over the years plus put others in touch with him.

The temptation to over/under torque them to get them all facing the right way would be strong.
