Default Need to get some new wheel nuts

Anyone know where I can buy wheel nuts from?

Apparently the taper angle on mine is wrong so that the wheels are not being properly held on.

I have no idea what the taper should be but am told common or garden alloy wheel nuts for the impreza should do the job fine.

Any ideas?

Subaru dealer.... recent price changes have resulted in me being quite shocked (in a good way ) at the price for some spares.

The fitment for classics (and all models?) is 1.25 x 12mm.

I get my chromed hex fitments ones from here: http://www.trackstore.co.uk/

Does it not vary according to wheel type/manufacturer?

speedline wheels use a different taper angle / seat profile when I had turini ones on my bugeye - didn't bother changing the nuts over for quite a while from the OE chrome ones and got a shock when I checked the contact points / marks left

So, do the Pff7's - made by Speedline - also need new wheel nuts, as most pics i've seen people use the std ones ??
