Take the wheels off everytime you park and take them with you

Is the Scooby 60 degree seat as well? If so the lockers I've already got will fit on.

Cheers

Depends which model you have. I bought the McGard ones (£29.99, Halfords) for my '05 STI and had to take them back because they do stick out a long way. Instead I called a Subaru dealer and ordered 'locking wheel nuts for an '05 STI' for about £27 - and they arrived in a Subaru bag with McGard stamped on the key! The new ones are a much better fit.

Phone the dealer and ask, 'would the MY05 STI wheel nuts fit my MY00?' at the same time as you ask whether or not they're in stock!

I got mine from Bell & Colvill, they were in stock and went in the post the same day.
