Default Oz alloys with standard Subaru nuts?

Will the standard 17" WRX alloy wheel nuts work correctly with 18" Oz Superleggeras?

No. OE Subaru wheels have steel inserts for the small nuts. if you use these nuts on alloy only they can rip through the wheel. PRI racing can supply steel galvanised nuts M12x1.25 with 60 deg seat and 19mm hex that are much deeper for this duty, stock code D2 £1.27 inc vat each.

Does anyone think these will be OK:
TPI alloy wheel nuts 12x1.25 Nissan Subaru 20 black on eBay (end time 24-Aug-09 13:30:16 BST)

They look like the same size.

Thanks for the info D1CCY
I have just fitted 18" OZ wheels on my STI and i thought the nuts seemed to go too far into the taper, i have just ordered some new ones from PRI racing.
