Standard shiney chrome ones from your dealer and a set of McGards locking will do, also from dealers

guessing you don't have locking nuts at the mo? get youself a set of mcgard for security and then it's up to you what type of other nut to use.

i've got some muteki lug nuts, the sort with a spline drive, they're ok but the anodising is very cheap and they got mullered in the winter other than that they're ok

what colour alloys have you got? maybe the standard steel ones will look ok with gold? if they're a dark colour i personally think it looks a bit odd.

right, gotcha now.

i don't think mcgard do any other colour, but are these any good?

GOLD LIGHTWEIGHT WHEEL NUTS (SUBARU IMPREZA, ETC) on eBay, also, Nuts, Car Wheels, Tyres Trims, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 29-May-09 11:19:08 BST)

Impreza Lightweight Alloy Wheel Nuts x 20 Gold FREEPOST on eBay, also, Nuts, Car Wheels, Tyres Trims, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 02-Jun-09 19:30:00 BST)

the last one says they're for MY92-00 but i thought they have always been the same right up to the current model? that might be worth finding out
