Default speedline turini subaru nuts

Just picked up some second hand 18inch speedline turini wheels but they’ve not come with the specific nuts

Where can I get these? Had a google search and eBay search and nothing seems to come up

cheers

Do you need standard Subaru wheel nuts ?

no I’ve read online and on the forum the speedlines use a different wheel nut, the standard wrx nuts will damage the wheel due to the design

I got a set of fitting nuts included when I bought mine new. It‘s a 60 degree taper I believe, so will seat differently to the subaru nuts. I would try the companies that sell the wheels. Or you can find out the exact spec and get some other aftermarket ones, they should be fairly common.

Yup the ones I linked are a 60degree taper. Had the same issue with the prodrive wheels. Couldn't use the original nuts

that's Ttrange. The GB270 that was sold with prodrive wheels is sold with OEM wheel nuts.

Not sure if it was the same with other Speedline wheels but the ST2s that were an option for the classics had a steel insert with the correct taper pressed into the wheel so you could use the standard Subaru wheel nuts.

I think the OEM nuts have a 60 degree taper any way. I just wanted black ones

std Subaru nut taper is 60deg BUT they have a very small seat and the bottom of the Hex encroaches on anything other than a matching small Subaru wheel seat....
most aftermarket alloys and nuts use a much larger 60deg seat unless its the likes of the tube style Mitsubishi wheels, etc

If anyone has some direct links to reasonable priced nuts that’ll fit perfect on these wheels that’ll be ideal, don’t want to end up with ones damaging the wheels
