Default Wheel nuts??

Has anyone with standard MY07 STi alloys changed their lug nuts and lockers to a different colour?

I've seen a few WR blue Scoobs with gold wheels and blue nuts and quite liked it.

If anyone knows can they tell me if something like these will fit the standard alloys on a MY07 ST:

Blue anodised wheel nuts 12mx1.25 Nissan and Subaru on eBay, also, Nuts, Car Wheels, Tyres Trims, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 12-Dec-07 09:32:12 GMT)

Cheers

I too like the look of these. In the Jap mag a few months back a company called ToxicRides was selling them for £100 inc lock nut. sound pretty pricey so didn't bother getting any. I think Rays do them as well, but probably for the same sort of money.

Them ones in your link don't say they come with locking nuts though.

Aye, I don't think they come with lockers mate.

Seen some Rays and Volk though, think I may go ahead and get some.
